Utilising backloads is a cheaper way of transporting furniture or items around Australia. It involves placing your items or furniture on a truck that already has a primary load booked either by utilising the excess space in the truck, or putting it in the truck on its return journey.
Booking backloads is a common practice among interstate removalists, and it essentially involves utilising the excess capacity available in trucks. Removal companies are often willing to give discounted rates for the available space in a truck that is going from point A to point B, or on the return journey if they have been unable to find a customer needing to move in the opposite direction. When you book a backload, you'll need to be slightly flexible in terms of your pickup and delivery dates to fit in with the truck's schedule, but you'll be able to secure a very competetive price.
Muval is the best place to book a backload. Without Muval, customers usually call dozens of removal companies trying to find one that has a truck travelling between their desired pickup and drop off locations near to the dates that they want. When you book a backload with Muval, we do all of the hard work for you, finding you an appropriate match as close as possible to when you want to move.

Here's a sample of what people say about the removal companies we work with.
- Removalist ServiceI moved my one-bedroom unit from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast. I was lucky enough to have been assigned the father & son duo Sam & Michael Mikhael. My lift was broken in Sydney so it meant taking the stuff down two floors via the stairs, but this didn't phase these guys. They were very professional, understanding and didn't break a single thing. How they managed to pack my stuff so compactly, is beyond me... saving me heaps of money compared to other removalists who sloppily pack, therefore requiring more space. My possessions were safely delivered just 36 hours after pick-up. I can't praise these guys enough... a job really well done! THANK YOU!
- Removalist ServiceThis company is professional from the get go to completion. I've used this company twice and I'll recommend to anyone who wants a removalist. Their prices also are very competitive and customer service is unparalleled. Awesome brilliant fantastic. Thanks a million guys
- Removalist ServiceThank you Noah and Ashok for your excellent customer service. My furniture is all intact, thank you.I will always remember to contact you when i move again next time.

- Removalist ServiceJodie was an absolute pleasure to deal with. 10/10 communication throughout the entire process from Jodie & the driver.
The Company make Ebay furniture purchases so easy. They will be the 1st people I call for any/all deliveries in the future.
- Removalist ServiceThe Company did an amazing job recently moving my house. What I thought would be a stressful expensive exercise turned out to be inexpensive and stress free. I am very grateful to the guys who worked hard, were polite and friendly and the whole process was quick and easy.
- Removalist ServiceAfter 23 years at the one home we were worried about moving all of our belongings from Sydney to Tyagarah. As a family of 5 we have a lot of furniture and possessions. Daniel "don't worry we'll fit it all in" and his crew gave outstanding, thorough service. All our items were meticulously packed and cared for. They were delivered without any damage whatsoever and placed exactly where required. It was Daniel who my wife, Kerrie, spoke to initially, who packed drove and delivered our goods and who ensured a quality caring and friendly service. The Company prices were incredibly competitive and we highly recommend them to anyone considering a move along the east coast.
- Removalist ServiceVery pleased with The Company.
The two men we received were professional, polite, efficient and most of all enthusiastic. They had to endure two flights of stairs at the pick and another flight of stairs at the drop off with no complaints. They were also more than happy to do an additional pick up at a different location.
I would highly recommend their services and would use them again.
- Removalist ServiceGreat service and great price from Daniel and his team, we moved from Byron Shire to VIC and all went smoothly so we would highly recommend them!

- Removalist ServiceOur move was made so easy by The Company. Guys were brilliant and they arrived exactly whenever they said they would, they were friendly, polite.
They were so professional and very careful with our possessions. They did the excellent job with two flights of stairs and heap of heavy furniture. Great with disassembling furniture to make it work.
I highly recommend these guys.
- Removalist ServiceWe had a 2 1/2 bedroom terrace house in Sydney and moved about 3 hours down the coast. The two removalists showed up early and in a larger truck than we had originally booked at no extra charge. This ended up be especially lucky as our stuff far exceeded what I had included in the estimate. Despite the job being significantly bigger than anticipated, our two removalists were quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly throughout the whole experience. I'd definitely use them again.
- Removalist ServiceDani and Andy were there on time,did a very thorough and quick job!
Took care of stuff and were very careful!
Would really recommend!
- Removalist ServiceAmazing service.. highly impressed.
- Removalist ServiceAfter our last move being a disaster (from one building to next door) we were expecting the worst in moving from Sydney to the South Coast (2 hours drive away). However, we were much more prepared this time with our packing and the truck size booked. The guys who helped being John, Tom and Josef arrived early and were very efficient. The truck was unloaded at our destination by 3pm so the cost of the move was much less than we expected. I would like to thank John, Tom and Josef for their help and would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone else!
- Removalist ServiceWe moved our 4 bedroom house from Windsor to the South Coast, being a 2.5 hr drive. The truck arrived at 7am and we were leaving Windsor at 10:30. My husband and I was not expecting the truck to be packed so fast! The boys were very polite, and took excellent care of our belongings.
We were very impressed with the service we received, and beat other quotes by a mile!
I highly recommend The Company, we will definitely be using them again in the future!
- Removalist ServiceI would like to highlight the excellent customer service from The Company. They lady who booked my removal was lovely - very helpful and accommodating.
The 2 Gentlemen who conducted my move were fantastic, and really took all the stress of moving away from me. They were very efficient and handled my belongings and furniture with care. They even dismantled and then assembled my bed.
I would highly recommend this company and will defo use them for all future moves
