Which road will my truck take, and does it cost me more?

Two sensible routes exist. Inland on the Newell, or up the Hume to Sydney and along the coast. The inland run is shorter by about a hundred kilometres.

Shorter is not always open. The Newell floods, and in 2022 the stretch south of Forbes was shut for 49 days.

So we pick the road close to your departure date, not months out. If the inland route is clear we take it and you get the earlier window.

If it is not, we go up through Sydney instead. It adds distance on a duplicated highway.

Either way the price stays the same. Picking the road is our problem to manage, not a surcharge to pass to you. We tell you which one we are taking and why.

What does a Melbourne to Brisbane move cost?

One price, set before we pick a route. How much you have matters far more than which road we drive.

What affects your quote

  • How much you have

    The room it takes on the truck. This is the main number.

  • Access at both ends

    A Melbourne dock booking, then a Brisbane house up external stairs.

  • Boxes

    Pack them yourself for less. Hand the job over and it costs more.

  • Season

    Winter sends people north. June to August is the tight stretch here.

How long does it take?

Three to five days door to door. Two of those are driving days, whichever road we take.

Inland, the Newell

Around 1,660 kilometres through Tocumwal, Dubbo and Goondiwindi. The short way.

Coastal, through Sydney

Around 1,770 kilometres on the Hume then the Pacific. Longer but duplicated.

21 to 23 hours of driving

A driver works 12 hours in any 24, with seven unbroken hours off.

Flood decides it

The Newell closed for 49 days south of Forbes in 2022. We check it near your date.

Why book UNN for this run?

  1. The route is our risk, not yours

    Flooding changes our road. It never changes the number on your quote.

  2. No depot in Sydney

    Even on the coastal route your load stays on the truck. Nothing is dropped halfway.

  3. We check the plant rules first

    Queensland restricts some things arriving from Victoria. We find out before load day, not at the border.

  4. A real date, picked late

    We commit to the route near departure, when the road is known. Not an optimistic guess at booking.

What else do people ask?

Will my things change trucks on the way?
No. Loaded once in Melbourne, unloaded once in Brisbane. Nothing is dropped at a depot in Sydney, even when we take the coastal road.
Can I bring plants and garden things?
Some, with care. Queensland restricts some plants and timber arriving from Victoria. It also restricts garden material leaving Brisbane. Tell us what you have.
Is pine furniture a problem into Queensland?
A finished bookshelf is not what the rules target. The restrictions cover pine plants, logs, raw timber and bark. If you have any of those, say so.
Can you store my things at the Brisbane end?
Yes. We hold the load and deliver once you have keys. On a run this long the dates rarely line up, so it is quoted with the move.
How far ahead should I book?
Three to four weeks. Winter is the busy season northbound, and a long run uses a truck for most of a week.
Do you drop at towns along the way?
Yes. Albury, Dubbo, Toowoomba and the Newell towns sit on the route. They are a drop, not a separate trip.
