Backloading vs a dedicated truck
Backloading shares a truck already running your corridor, so you pay for the space you use rather than the whole vehicle. It is the cheapest way to move interstate, and the saving grows on longer routes. The trade-off is a flexible delivery window instead of a fixed date.
A dedicated truck carries only your move and delivers on a set date. It suits large homes, hard settlement deadlines and high-value loads. This calculator only unlocks backloading pricing when you mark your dates as flexible, because that is the real-world requirement.
