Regional pickups and drops around those corridors are routine — anywhere within 150 km of Brisbane, for instance, is a flat $120 last-mile add-on, which covers the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. If you're not sure whether your two addresses are on a lane, put them into the quote tool: it either prices the move or tells you it can't, and it won't guess.
Waitlist-only for now
Adelaide, Perth, Hobart and Darwin lanes exist on the site with indicative distances and rates, but they can't be booked and won't return an instant quote. The honest reason is capacity: backloading only works when there are enough trucks already running a route with space to sell. Under-serviced corridors mean either long waits or prices that aren't actually cheaper than a dedicated truck — and at that point we'd be selling the word 'backloading' rather than the thing itself.
The waitlist isn't a marketing list. It's how we see where demand concentrates, which is what decides the order lanes open in. Melbourne–Adelaide is the closest of them, on distance and on freight volume both.
- South Australia — Melbourne ↔ Adelaide, Sydney ↔ Adelaide
- Western Australia — Melbourne ↔ Perth, Sydney ↔ Perth
- Tasmania — Melbourne ↔ Hobart (Bass Strait adds a sea leg)
- Northern Territory — Sydney ↔ Darwin
What has to be true before a lane opens
Three things, in order. Enough carrier partners running the route regularly that we can offer a pickup window measured in days rather than weeks. Enough two-way freight that the return leg is genuinely discounted rather than notionally so. And a rate we can publish as a fixed number inc GST, rather than a 'from' price that moves once we see the job.
Until all three hold, a lane stays on the waitlist. We'd rather lose the booking than quote a price we can't honour — that's the same reason our coming-soon lane pages carry indicative figures and no Book button.
