A 4-ton truck is the workhorse of mid-sized moves in Durban. It handles a three-bedroom house, a small-to-medium office, a full pallet of building materials or a day’s worth of retail stock. Most 4-ton trucks on HALA MOVE have a closed curtainside or tautliner body, giving you weather protection for the whole load.
An 8-ton truck is for the bigger jobs — four-to-five-bedroom house moves, full office relocations, palletised commercial freight, large bulk deliveries and long-distance KZN runs. Some 8-ton trucks come with tail-lifts for easier loading; specify in your job description if you need one.
Pickup. Drop-off. Load description. Photos — essential for truck jobs, as drivers need to gauge vehicle size, access, loading time and whether helpers are needed. The AI Smart Quote reads your photos and recommends a fair price range.
Nearby verified truck drivers see your job and submit bids with vehicle type, size, tail-lift availability, and whether loading help is included. You see every bid live.
For truck jobs, the cheapest bid isn’t always the best — check vehicle size, tail-lift, crew and ETA. Your payment is charged and held in PayFast escrow.
GPS live from pickup to drop-off. Chat with the driver for access codes, gate instructions or timing changes.
Driver takes proof-of-delivery photo. You confirm. Escrow releases — 80% to the driver, 20% platform fee.
We verify SA ID, driver’s licence code (Code 10 or 14 where required), professional driving permit (PrDP) where legally required, vehicle registration, roadworthy certificate and bank details before any driver accepts a job. You see ratings and job counts upfront.

Watch your truck on a live map from pickup to drop-off. Essential for long-distance KZN runs where you want to know the driver’s exact position and ETA.
