Read your block before the truck rolls
Out here the move is decided by the driveway, the gate and the ground, not the kilometres. Describe your block and we will show you, honestly, whether a truck can reach your door, where it parks if it cannot, and the crew your move actually needs.
A short sealed driveway and a clear entry: the truck reaches the door and the standard crew handles it.
Three kinds of Maitland access, three kinds of crew
However your block sits, the move falls into one of three shapes. This is how we resource each one, so the price reflects the real work.
Truck to the door
A short, sealed, clear approach with level or few-step entry. The standard crew of two movers and a truck loads efficiently right at the home.
Long carry or extra hands
A longer or gravel drive, a tighter gate, a raised front floor or a shed to clear. We add a mover, so the day still runs to time.
Long carry and a bigger crew
A long soft driveway, a narrow farm gate, boggy ground or no safe truck approach at all. The big truck stays on firm standing at the road and a larger crew carries everything, with more time allowed.
About the planner
Is this my final quote?
No. It is an honest read on the truck access and the crew your block calls for, so the quote is accurate. Send the result with your enquiry and we will price the move on your real address, both ends.
Why does the driveway matter so much out here?
Because a loaded pantech is heavy and long. A few hundred metres of unsealed gravel that holds water after rain can bog a truck, a narrow farm gate can stop it short, and reversing a big rigid back down a long drive takes time and care. Knowing the drive before the day is how we avoid a stuck truck and a blown schedule.
What if the truck cannot reach my door?
We park it on firm ground at the road and carry the last stretch, with more hands and time. It is worth knowing up front, and far cheaper than a bogged truck. The planner flags it so it is costed honestly.
My home is built up high off the ground. Does that change things?
Yes. So many homes in the old Maitland river suburbs sit a flight of steps above the path, raised after the 1955 flood, that the carry up to the front floor is a real part of the job. We crew for the steps at both ends, and the planner factors them into the verdict.
