What is Backloading? πŸ€”

Backloading is when you share truck space with other customers moving in the same direction. Instead of paying for an entire truck, you only pay for the space you use. This is particularly effective on the busy Brisbane to Melbourne route, where trucks frequently travel between these major cities.
