A truck drive-away service is a driver delivery service. A professional driver collects your commercial vehicle and drives it to its destination, instead of the truck being carried or loaded. Truck Movers Australia provides this service for unladen commercial vehicles, from a single truck to a whole fleet.
If your business needs a truck moved from a wharf, a processing yard or a dealer, here is what to know before you book.
What is a truck drive-away service?
Truck Movers Australia uses trade plates for unladen commercial vehicles moving ex-wharves, processing yards, and to and from dealer networks. Trade plates specifically prohibit a vehicle from carrying a load, unless for demonstration purposes. The company does not carry loads or move loaded vehicles, and it is not a freight business.
The service covers new, used or leased vehicles, including cab chassis and road train gas tankers. It is used in the pre-delivery, pre-registration, or pre and post-sale phase of a truck’s life.

What do you need before you book?
The online quote form asks for your pick-up and delivery details, the number of vehicles, and the vehicle type, model, make and rego. It also asks for the GVM, GCM, axles and any trailer details. You will be asked whether your vehicle is roadworthy. Truck Movers Australia is a driver delivery service only and does not transport non-operational vehicles.

The company provides real-time tracking for all truck movements, along with vehicle condition checks and damage reporting. It also offers 24-hour delivery and driver support, plus breakdown support and management. The vehicle is returned in the condition in which it was picked up. Truck Movers Australia states it carries public liability cover up to $30,000,000, and its drivers are covered by workers compensation at all times.
