Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What are backloads?
    A load that enables a truck to return to a starting point is described as a backload. Trucks which have additional space may also wish to load extra cubic metres from another customer. This situation is also referred to as a backload.

  2. Why use FindBackloads.com to obtain a quote?
     Findbackloads is designed to obtain the three lowest quotes from two main sources, namely, our Instant Quote Companies and from your posting in the forums area. Backloading companies are able to check to see what jobs are available in a location and may submit a cheaper backloads price.
 
   
  1. Should I use Instant Quote or choose a longer time frame ?
    2. Choosing a longer time frame (eg "Close of Next Business Day" or "In One Weeks Time" ) may allow more backloads companies to view your request and determine if they have a truck at your location in order to backload your goods. When suitable logistics are met, a backloads company may submit a far cheaper price than an Instant Quote company.

  2. What is a Forum?
    A forum is an online bulletin board type idea where users are able to interact with questions, answers and discussions on a given topic. A request for a quote is able to be posted in a forum where members are able to read the request and submit a quoted price.

  3. How much notice is needed ?
    Generally not too much notice is required as many companies are able to organise a pickup within a couple of days from any capital city. From other locations, particularly those that are unlisted, trucks may be less frequent and will require a little longer. Findbackloads will respond with the three lowest quotes, so the companies will examine your details and only respond if they have suitable logistics available. It is more likely that you will obtain a cheaper quote if your pickup date allows companies a reasonable amount of time to organise its logistics. If it is an unlisted city, you will be required to post your request on the forum for 7 working days.
