It’s a family thing
Owner David Seehusen
When David Seehusen started Red Truck Removals and Storage in 2010, it was a dream that he held for fifteen years. It’s in his blood. David’s family have been moving people across Australia since 1890.
Big Red
David – also known as ‘Big Red’ because of his ginger hair – left school at sixteen to pursue a career in the transport industry. He didn’t realise at the time how significant his old childhood nickname would be, eventually becoming the creative inspiration for the name of his own removals and storage company Red Truck.
Big dreams, small beginnings
David experienced many pivotal moments throughout his career. As a fifth generation removalist, he worked his way up. From sweeping out the yard at the depot of his first full time job, to completing the first of many removals at sixteen and then buying his first truck in 2008. He knows and loves the furniture removals industry and can’t imagine doing anything else.
Est. 2010
Red Truck Removals and Storage opened for business in Sydney’s West in early 2010, providing Sydneysiders with storage solutions and local moves throughout New South Wales.
“As every business owner knows starting up a new company is tough,” said David. “Our first year was challenging. But to see where we are now, and what we’ve achieved; I couldn’t be prouder of the team’s hard work and dedication.”
“Red Truck is lucky to have such a dedicated team of professionals on board, our clients always comment on how friendly and helpful everyone is. To ensure a good moving experience from beginning to end requires a certain amount of skill. We communicate openly and honestly with our clients, and each other, to ensure each day runs smoothly.”
Red Truck today
The Red Truck fleet has steadily grown in size since the days of its sole Mercedes Atego truck. If you see one of Red Truck’s bright red trucks out on the road today, it is one of nine modern and fully equipped trucks.
Red Truck now operates local, interstate and office moves as well as specialised freight. Alongside its removals service, Red Truck also offers a range of professional packing services too. For those clients looking to store their belongings short or long term, in between settlements or for those who are simply decluttering, there is a secure storage facility available.
“Although Red Truck has evolved from its beginnings, our mission will always remain the same,” said David. “We guarantee our clients and their belongings will be treated with the utmost care and respect, by genuinely good, experienced people, who have the right attitude and work ethic to be able to maintain our company’s high standards. In turn, this creates a pleasant and stress-free move for our clients. We’re passionate about providing the best service out there.”

Moving tipsPlease extend my thanks again to the gorgeous men Aaron and the team for the effort they took in our move. You know we have an awful time with a previous removalist so I was anxious from the get go.
They were meticulous and patient with all our things and were extremely organised. I was ignorant of the fact the time and effort taken by Aaron to plan the truck and all the equipment often asking him to ‘chuck that piece in there if he had room’. He always kindly obliged and was a gentlemen and extremely patient. I appreciate everything Red Truck has done, this is really a case of ‘getting what you pay for’ service was above and beyond expectations.
Hi Trish, I just wanted to say thank you to yourself and in particular Dave for looking after us with our move, we truly appreciate it! The boys who moved us were absolutely fantastic, they were very friendly, very professional and they worked so hard even in the incredibly hot weather. A huge thank you to everyone, we will highly recommend Red Truck to everyone we know.
I would like to thank everyone involved for making my move uncomplicated. The removalists worked so hard but were fabulous. They were considerate, polite and patient. Could you please pass on my thanks.
I will have no hesitation recommending your company anytime.
Hello Trish, Dave and team,
Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful service offered by Graham and Mick to do the packing and of course the four very fit and friendly young men you sent on Thursday to move us. They were fantastic, cheerful and professional and made everything run very smoothly.
I would happily recommend Red Truck to anyone.
We were so impressed with the Red Truck experience. The guys did a fantastic job; they were meticulous, communicative, polite, hard working, careful around the kids, and nothing was too much trouble. They were clearly proud to be part of Red Truck, and they made the experience much smoother for us. We will definitely use you guys again in our next move.
The guys (Justin and Lawrence) did a fantastic job. They arrived right on time, handled our stuff really carefully, moved everything really quickly and had a great attitude. Such a difference to the “cheap” providers we have used previously. Will be glad to recommend you to friends.
We wanted to formally express our appreciation for the removal of our goods from Epping to Jerrabomberra – this was a fantastic job from start to finish. David got us off to a good start and the moving team led by Manny were polite, friendly, helpful and very professional. Please convey our thanks also to Graham, Trent and Lee.
This was our first house move in 33 years so we didn’t know what to expect but we would now thoroughly recommend Red Truck for any removalist job. Great work and many thanks
Just had Jack, Justin & Brad here unloading the furniture. They were amazing! Polite, efficient & very careful with all the furniture. I won’t hesistate to book you again or recommend you. Thankyou for a great experience.
David and team,
From the moment Lawrence and Graham arrived to pack on Thursday to when Manni and Mick departed King Creek on the Saturday, this has been the best of our 9 moves in 36 years. To Lawrence, Graham, Glen, Ben, Justin, Mick and Manni and the depot staff well done. Only one broken item which was a fruit bowl I hated so thanks. And we even loved Glen’s true yarns and stories. Great bunch of guys who represented the values you espoused during your quote. Well done and a heartfelt thanks
A big thankyou to the guys who moved us from Sydney to Orange. A great job well done!! No breakages, no damage, and they were so pleasant and helpful.
We certainly made a good choice when we chose Red Truck Removals and Storage.
We just wanted to send an email to say how impressed we were with the team who moved us last Thursday. We knew we had a lot to get through, and the boys were friendly, organised and chatty the whole time. Jack was particularly helpful, quite a character! They worked consistently through the day which was a refreshing change to some of the previous experiences we’ve had. Please pass on our thanks to Nick, Jack and Trent.
On the recommendation of a friend, we recently used Red Truck Removals to move our apartment into storage. True to their experience, we found the entire Red Truck crew to be friendly, accommodating and highly professional throughout the process. The move was stress free and our furniture was cared for and moved expertly by the RT removalists. I highly recommend David Seehusen and the Red Truck team. They exceeded our expectations.
I would highly recommend this company for reliable, efficient and friendly service in moving your furniture. We had Matt, Ben, Jason and Mick as our team and found the four men very professional, very friendly and took really good care with our belongings. We are so impressed that when our house is built we would like to have the same team again move us. Thank you to Dave and his great team of movers.

I would recommend this business to anyone wanting a genuinely smooth move. Thank you Redtruck!
