New — Aug 2026 backloads

Brisbane to Adelaide backloading from $168/m³

Brisbane → Adelaide is the fuller direction of our longest corridor — more household freight flows into SA than out, so this leg carries more paying loads and prices under Adelaide→Brisbane per cubic metre. Same 1,940 km, same ~3-day transit under fatigue law, same $20k insurance in the number.

Who moves on this lane.

Queensland → Adelaide relocation

A 2-bed home lands around $4,700 with the big-load rate already applied; a 3-bed around $6,050. Flexible dates take a further 10% off either.

Small load south

Part-loads ride the curve: around $1,300 for 8 m³. The $350 minimum covers about 4 m³ — pooling with a friend makes small moves cheap.

Defence or university posting

Edinburgh, Osborne or the universities — give us the report date and we plan the pickup backwards from it. A 1-bed apartment is about $3,100.

03SA fruit-fly rules: no fresh produce in the load.
04Book the ±1 week window if you can — 10% off, and the best slot on a new lane.

Why is Brisbane to Adelaide cheaper per m³ than Adelaide to Brisbane?

The two legs don't run equally full. More household freight flows into SA than out, so the southbound truck shares its costs across more paying loads — same honest asymmetry as our Melbourne↔Brisbane corridor, just pointing the other way.

How long does Brisbane to Adelaide take?

About three days for 1,940 km — the HVNL fatigue cap makes it a multi-day run for a solo driver, with mandated rest each night.

Can I send a small load without paying for a whole move?

Yes — pricing is per cubic metre with a $350 minimum, and loads under ~11 m³ earn a part-load rate automatically because they top up a truck that's already going.
