Ever wondered about the logistics of moving trucks?

When it comes to the business of moving products from one place to another in a timely, safe, and professional manner, the work behind the scenes is largely the same.

Whether it’s shuffling containers from the port to a warehouse, hauling dirt from a construction site to a secondary location, or taking pallets of food to a supermarket, the planning of staff, routes and vehicle choice is work that simply needs to be done.

And, like anything, the more you do it – the better you get at it.

In the nearly 40 years since Truck Moves Australia launched into the market, its operations team has continuously honed its systems and processes to the point where they are able to offer same day metropolitan truck deliveries around the country.

As the landscape has evolved, and the technology improved, so have the systems used to deploy the company’s extensive roster of heavy vehicle drivers in support of a wide range of customer needs.

These customers are businesses or organisations with a need to move their heavy vehicles from one place to another, and either no desire, or capacity, to send their own staff out on the road to get the job done.

Whether it’s a fleet looking to move trucks to a new site for a major project, a buyer who has bought a truck and wants it delivered to their door, or an OEM who needs trucks moved out to dealerships, Truck Moves Australia’s professional drivers are jumping behind the wheel at short notice and getting the job done in a safe and timely manner.

The latest technology means every enquiry is dealt with quickly and efficiently and every delivery is now tracked by GPS, offering visibility and peace of mind.

And, as the mix of Australia’s fleet continues to evolve, so have the skills of the Truck Moves Australia drivers, many of whom have been trained on the basic maintenance and ideal driving techniques required to safely drive electric powered prime movers to wherever they need to go.

Truck Moves Australia managing director Matt Whitnall says the business has a strong list of drivers and operations experts on hand to help customers throughout Australia and that many of those staff have been working with the company for well in excess of 10 years.

“Our network scale is just one of our superpowers, together with the industry-leading safety and driver management systems we built, insurance as required, and our ability to pick up a truck same day, anywhere in Australia and get it moving interstate to where the customer wants it,” Whitnall says.

“No delay, no fussing about. If the customer needs it done – we make it happen.

“We have highly expert and strong operations team spread across the country, in all capital cities, and every one of us is customer-facing.

“No-one in our business is a passenger. We do not allow customers to be put on hold. We are an express response service. You call, we answer.

“It is not uncommon for us to complete 1,000 new truck deliveries a week.”

In the new truck space, in particular, Truck Moves Australia has built extensive relationships with major dealers and OEMs over the years.

Whitnall says the best performing dealers they work with make full use of the Truck Moves Australia services as part of their sales process.

He says rather than having a mechanic or sales person taken out of the business to move prime movers to body shops or accessories suppliers for fit outs, or Transport offices for registration, the dealers simply give Truck Moves Australia a call and their drivers keep the trucks moving through the entire process and can even deliver the vehicles directly to customers at the end.

The registration side of this process is handled through Truck Moves Australia’s complementary business www.newtruckrego.com.au which is set up to register trucks in every state Australia-wide.

Whitnall says for big fleets and leasing companies the newtruckrego.com.au business is proving particularly popular as it takes away the hassle of moving assets around and cuts the time from weeks to days, to bring a new truck through the registration process to its next location.

Truck Moves Australia has added another string to its bow in recent years too, with truck storage space now available as a service in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney.
