What we move, and how.

Trucks are the core of it. Everything below is something we actually do today. If it is not on this list, ask, and we will tell you honestly whether it is a job for us.

Vans, utes, trailers

01

Truck Relocation

The job we started with. You have a truck somewhere it should not be: a yard across the island, a dealer in another city, a buyer who cannot come and get it. We put a driver in it and deliver it under its own power, so there is no transporter to book and no loading damage to argue about.

Multiple Unit Moves

When more than one unit has to move, we plan it as a single job rather than a series of unrelated bookings. Sensible pairings, sensible order, and one person to ring about all of it. We are a small operation, so we will tell you honestly how many we can take at once and by when.

Port & Yard Collection

Newly landed, freshly bought at auction, or parked up at a workshop. We collect from ports, yards, dealerships and private addresses. Your broker or agent handles the clearance and paperwork; we turn up once it is released and drive it out.

Unregistered & Uncertified Units

A truck without current registration or certification cannot simply be driven away. We sort what is needed to move it lawfully, including the Annex C inspection a heavy vehicle requires before it travels more than 50km from base on trade plates, and we tell you before you book if a unit is going to need extra work.

Condition Reporting

Every unit is walked around and photographed before it moves and again on delivery, with the time and date on the file. It is a small habit that costs us ten minutes and settles almost every disagreement this trade normally has about who put a mark on what.

Beyond Trucks

Trucks are what we know best, but the same approach works for anything that drives. We already move vans, utes, caravans and trailers, and we are steadily adding to the list as the service grows. If you have something else that needs relocating, ask. We would rather tell you honestly whether it is a job for us.

How a job runs

Five steps, every single job.

01

Tell us about it

What the truck is, where it is sitting, and where it needs to go. A photo or two helps more than a paragraph.

02

We check what it needs

Registration and certification status, whether trade plates or an Annex C inspection come into it, and whether a ferry booking is involved.

03

You get a price and a date

One number, not a range, and a realistic date. If we cannot do it when you need it, we will say so rather than string you along.

04

Photographed, then driven

A walkaround and photos at pickup, then your truck is driven straight through by the same driver.

05

Handed over

Photos again on arrival, keys handed to whoever is receiving it, and confirmation back to you.

Who we work for

Dealers, operators, workshops and the occasional very brave private buyer.

Truck dealers

Stock moved between yards, and sold units delivered to the buyer instead of the buyer having to come to you.

Importers

Units collected once your broker has them released, then driven to wherever they need to be prepared or sold.

Transport operators

A truck moved without pulling one of your own drivers off a paying run to go and fetch it.

Auctions & wholesalers

Post-sale delivery to buyers in other parts of the country, with the condition photographed at both ends.

Workshops & repairers

Units brought in for work and returned afterwards, including ones that are not currently registered.

Private buyers

Bought a truck at the other end of the country? We will drive it home and hand you the keys.

Not sure if it is a job for us?

Describe the truck and where it has to go. We will tell you what is involved, what it will cost, and whether we are the right people to do it.
