Back loads 2025
No return loads were posted for 2025. Loads were advertised by email and by telephone that year rather than on the website, so there is no list to reproduce — and nothing has been invented to fill the gap.
The service did not stop and has not stopped. What follows is how a backload works, where our lorries genuinely come home from, and how to be told when one is passing you. The dated archive for the years that were posted is on the hub.
It comes down to the date
A back load is space on a lorry coming home, and the only real question is whether you can wait for one. If you can, it is the cheapest way there is to move something. If you cannot, it is the wrong service and we will tell you so in the first phone call.
The journey is already committed. Our vehicle has done a job away from the North West and has to get back to Manchester, so what you pay for is carrying rather than travelling. There is no way to have that price and also choose the day.
What does not depend on the date is the lifting. Every lorry carries its own crane, so wherever your load starts and wherever it finishes, we bring what we need to pick it up and set it down.
Where the lorries come home from
Counted from all 331 loads in the archive rather than from 2025 alone, because 2025 has too few entries to summarise on its own. These are the places that actually appear in a decade of postings.
- London
- Glasgow
- Manchester
- Edinburgh
- Birmingham
- Oxford
- Bristol
- Cardiff
- Southampton
- Dumfries
- Inverness
- Scotland
Those are the ends of the same four runs the vehicles have always worked: the M6 south, the M1 and A1 east and to London, the M62 across, and the M74 into Scotland. Where the lorries actually go has the fuller picture.
How flexible is your date?
That is the question that decides everything. Tell us what you have, where it is going and how much give there is, and we will tell you whether waiting is worth it.
