A Just Trucking booking requires that you

Box and wrap your goods yourself. Collect boxes from your local supermarket or buy them from the many box and wrapping suppliers across Gauteng. Bubble Wrap is highly recommended to be extensively used particularly on fridges, mirrors and other fragile items.

Choose a 4 ton truck/or 20m3 vehicle or 8 ton truck/or 30m3 or both as the vehicle/s you will need. A four ton truck/or 20m3 vehicle generally moves, in one load, a 2 bedroom home inclusive of the contents of the lounge, dining room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms. An 8 ton truck/or 30m3 vehicle generally moves, in one load, a 3 to 4 bedroom home inclusive of the contents of the lounge, dining room, kitchen, 4 bedrooms and maids quarters. Homes with more living areas, filled garages, patio furniture and lots of pot plants may require a second load. You can also order 2 vehicles at the same time so you are not delayed. Based on our statistics of over 300 moves per month for over 4 years (yes over 15 000 so far) 80% of clients select the right size truck and move in one load. Note that this is not guaranteed as some folks have more furniture than others even if the property is the same size.

What does it cost and what if I misjudged?

4 ton/or 20m3 vehicle
A 4 ton truck/or 20 m3 vehicle, driver and 2 loaders with twenty loading blankets costs R2200 all inclusive for a single load A second load will cost R1600 bringing the total cost up to R3800. This sum is the same price as that for a single load on an 8 ton/or 30 m3 vehicle. A 3rd or more loads will also cost R1600 per load.

8 ton/30m3 vehicle
An 8 ton truck/or 30m3 vehicle, driver and 4 loaders with forty loading blankets costs R3800 all inclusive for a single load. A second load will cost R3200 bringing the total cost up to R7000. A 3rd or more loads will cost R2800 per load.

12 ton/50m3-2 Vehicles
A 12 ton/or 50m3 vehicle (2), a driver and 4 laborers (if 1 vehicle) with 60 loading blankets will cost R5500 all inclusive for a single load. A second load will cost R4500 bringing the total cost to R10 000. A 3rd or more loads will cost R4000 per load.

These prices are on condition that the distance from premises A to premises B does not exceed 50kms and is within the borders of Gauteng. Moves to be loaded outside Gauteng will be quoted on a case by case basis. Moves exceeding 50kms in Gauteng or to the other provinces are charged on a per km rate for each extra km. Note that the use of the word ton or tons are for reference purposes only, you are paying for volume not tonnage as most furniture has very little mass/weight. Just Trucking Movers reserves the right to use any closed waterproof, insured vehicle that gives the exact or more volumetric capacity quoted. Costs are for one day only and prices are reset every day.  Ensure your move is completed in one day as a load on a new day will cost the same price as a first load

Shuttle Service

Complexes often do not allow vehicles to enter that are 4, 8 or 12 tons/20m3, 30m3 or 50m3 or have height restriction below 3 meters. A smaller vehicle may be required to shuttle the goods from the home/business to the street.

If a shuttle vehicle/service is required for the move at one location it will cost R1000 extra for the day. If a shuttle vehicle/service is required on both sides it will cost R2000 extra for the day.

Unless the furniture is found outside the complex when we arrive use of your own vehicle as a shuttle will still be charged as a shuttle service. It’s a question of time. If no vehicle, including your own, can reduce the distance the furniture has to be moved below 50 meters this will be charged as a shuttle service. This money will be distributed amongst the laborers.

Upstairs: If you are not moving from a ground floor to a ground floor structure additional cost will be incurred per load. Upstairs to ground floor structure will cost R300 extra per load. Upstairs to upstairs structure will cost R600 extra per load.

Costs for upstairs apply whether there are lifts or not. Costs for upstairs apply irrespective of the quantity of items found or moved upstairs. Often in the case of long blocks of flats the shuttle service and upstairs costs may apply as 50 meters is exceeded from the truck.

Payment

Payment is as transparent as everything else about Just Trucking Movers. You pay nothing in advance unless you want to. When goods are loaded at the first premises, R1000 must be handed to the driver.  Upon arrival at the second premises, the balance must be paid.

Unfortunately we will not offload or enter the new premises unless the driver has received payment. The reason is that regrettably some folks forget where the money is once we have put the furniture in the new premises. We’re not kidding!!

Payment is done load by load or if you wish, as some clients do, you are welcome to pay in advance for our service into our bank account. You will receive a refund if you did not require as many loads as you thought.

Payment via EFT must be done strictly 72 hours before the day of the move. No EFT payment will be accepted on the day irrespective of the bank and if you’re booking is done last minute please go draw the cash before we arrive.  If we arrive at the second premises and payment of the balance or access is not given within 15 minutes, R250 will be added to your bill.  If this is still the case after 30 minutes, the vehicle will return to the first premises and offload the goods outside.

Long distance moves (exceeding 50kms) always require full payment upon loading.

Discount

Pensioners older that 65 years of age receive a 10% discount on one load.

Pay via EFT in advance and receive a 5% discount on one load. 

Schedule your move for the afternoon and receive a 5% discount on one load.
