just ring Patricks, Tolls and other transport companies. Backloading only works really from out of the way places. Trucks crossing the Nullabor are usually full going west with easties moving here and going east full with WA money to keep the rest of Oz afloat!

Contact general freight companies and if you are not in a hurry you will pick up a back load from west to east for about 30% of normal freight.
