Happy with the service, thanks Jim.

Great business model you have developed. Excellent communication, you will be my go to freight option in the future. Cheers Andrew

Sandra (Sender)

Hi Jim, Apologies for my tardy response of thanks for the delivery of my furniture which your company "GoBackload" sorted for me. I along with my friends, whom I spoke of your service were equally impressed, especially with the time factor and cost. Many thanks and appreciate your service. Definitely on my list to spread the word of your service. Thanks Sandra.

Corin (Sender)

I've had an incredibly positive experience with GoBackload: I uploaded what I thought would be a tricky job on a Labour weekend (collecting an old digger and attachments from Kapiti Coast, and delivering to Coromandel), and received a quote within 24 hours. A couple of days later, the digger had arrived, at a very reasonable price, and without any complications whatsoever. I'll most definitely be using the service again! Thanks Corin.

John (Sender)

Hello GoBackload, what a brilliant platform, I wish I had known about this years ago, thank you. Can you market your service on Trade Me, people like me are always purchasing machinery from far away and transport can be a killer. Regards John 

Shirley (Sender)

"A website like GoBackload that provides security and vouches for its carriers is a great idea. It can be really confusing and stressful shifting house. I very nearly accepted a quote from a carrier on Facebook, until the last-minute, when I found out he was a con-man - that was a very lucky break. I will be using GoBackload from now on for getting freight quotes. Send safe and save loads - what a great idea." Thanks Shirley.

Guy W. (Sender)

"Have been looking for a service to join drivers and senders and this one ticks all the boxes, saved over 50% on quoted retail rates and got the item in a timely manner." Cheers Guy.

Alastair (Trucker)

"This was my first pickup and delivery using GoBackload. After accepting and confirming the backload quote on the website listing, I was provided pick up instructions to make contact with the sender.

The whole process was smooth and simple and a great way to utilise the empty space on my truck returning from the South Island. I will happily use GoBackload again and highly recommend to others" Regards Alastair.

Mike (Sender)

"GoBackload worked well for us, plus it saved us a trip and wasted fuel to pick it up. Excellent people at the GoBackload help desk, real good to deal with."  Thanks Mike.
