The A1 Removalists Sydney truck was at the Shell fuel hub about 8am while in town to move possessions for people shifting from Jindera to the capital.
Company manager Mansor Fitto said he had some feedback from concerned Jindera residents but assured them that the driver and his offsider had met COVID rules, having had negative swabs on Wednesday.
"The guys got tested, the truck was sanitised," he said.
"The truck got there, they didn't go anywhere, they went straight to the customer's house, picked up the stuff this morning and went straight back to Sydney.
"We tried to do the best we can."
Mr Fitto said the job was unavoidable.
"We tried to reschedule ... because the house was sold and the settlement happened so we couldn't postpone the move," he said.
There is no suggestion the company or its staff were doing anything wrong.
