What to plan for on the Adelaide–Melbourne run
It’s the busiest interstate route out of Adelaide, and it’s a long day on the road. Most of the planning happens before the truck leaves, so delivery day in Melbourne runs smoothly.
At the Adelaide end
- We check driveway access, especially in the Hills and older eastern suburbs.
- Furniture is blanket-wrapped and strapped for the highway, not just for a short trip across town.
At the Melbourne end
- Many inner-city buildings need a lift booking and a loading-bay time slot.
- Some councils require a permit for a truck parked on the street. We tell you what to check.
- We place furniture room by room and reassemble beds and tables on request.
Dedicated truck or backload?
A dedicated truck suits a full home and fixed dates. Backloading suits smaller moves and flexible dates, and costs less. See Adelaide to Melbourne backloading.
