Hello, my name is David. Welcome to my blog. There is nothing I like more than hitting the open road and going for a drive in my car. I have always loved everything to do with automobiles. When I was a boy, I had a collection of 208 different toy cars which I would play with all day long. As soon as I was old enough, I began taking driving lessons and the day I passed was the best day of my life. Although I am not a mechanic, my dad taught me lots of neat tricks so I can keep my car in top condition. I hope you enjoy my blog.
Backloading removalists refers to a removalist that picks up and transports a load of furniture and household goods during a return trip from another move. A backloading removalist trip is usually cheaper than a standard trip since the company is already on the road, and they want to be sure that they're not simply wasting a trip with an empty truck so they offer a lower price for those who will schedule a backloading trip. A backloading trip may also not offer you the same open schedule since you need to work around the first move scheduled that day, which is also why it's more affordable. Note some questions to ask about backloading removalists before you schedule this for your move.
1. What if someone cannot be at the new property to receive the goods?
This can often be an issue with backloading, since many times the work is done at the end of the day, after the initial run. Very often a removalist company will require you to have someone on the property who can open the door and sign for receiving the goods; this person may even need a signed sheet saying that you give them permission to receive the goods on your behalf so the removalist company knows they aren't simply delivering your furniture to a stranger. Be sure you ask about this ahead of time when scheduling a backloading trip.
2. What might make the move take longer than expected?
Since a backloading trip may be scheduled at the end of the day, it's good to understand anything that might make the move take longer than expected so you and the removalist can plan accordingly. This might include moving bulky objects; if you have a piano, weight bench, or large entertainment center that will need extra care, this can often set the move back, and especially if you're moving from a second story apartment. Discuss this with the removalist company so you know what to expect and they can ensure that backloading will work for your trip.
3. What type of lead time is needed to schedule the move?
If you want to save money by scheduling a backloading trip, you may need to have a flexible schedule as these trips are only arranged when there is an initial trip already scheduled. You may need to give them more lead time so they can note which trips allow for backloading or you may need to be ready for a last-minute backloading trip if the initial move was scheduled at the last minute. In either case, discuss this with the removalist company before planning your own move.
