An online freight moving service is hoping it can fill up lorries that at the moment are making trips empty or only partly filled. Industry estimates are that 9 out of 20 heavy transport vehicles on the road are running empty.
A website based out of Wanaka, GoBackLoad, hopes to help fill up some of that spare capacity by giving people the opportunity to list their load for free while approved carriers can bid for the work.
