Backloading 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.
Backloading 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.
We move backloads across Australia. Find a truck easily through Muval and take advantage of backload pricing if you're flexible on your pickup and delivery dates. If our site doesn't find a match for you straight away, one of our team will follow up with you personally to see how we can help.

We work with a range of quality interstate removalist companies to ensure exceptional service and care is given when moving your items.
Here's a sample of what people say about the removal companies we work with.
- Removalist ServiceGreat, on time, efficient and friendly service - Fantastic to be able to call on someone for small moving jobs when family/friends or neighbours are not available and you need it done in a hurry!
- Removalist ServiceWe used this removalist company yesterday for the first time and their name says it all... they were quick and easy. We've used other companies previously and it seems as though they use every trick in the book to take as much time as possible to load the furniture but these guys hit the ground running and didn't stop. I'd recommend them and next time we need removalists I'll be requesting Sebastian and his offsider... Great job guys!
- Removalist Service[names removed] moved my belongings on Sunday morning. I just want to commend them on their hard work and professionalism. They made the move stress and hassle free for me and were utterly professional in their handling of the process from start to finish. They didn't complain despite the multiple sets of stairs are both apartments and were incredibly polite and respectful of my belongings.
All in all, a very good experience and I would certainly recommend these guys.

- Removalist ServiceWe had such a great experience with these guys, We were greeted by a really friendly person on the phone, the removalists turned up on time, worked quickly and efficiently and did a great job. We use them to move from Sydney to the central coast, and would happily use again.
- Removalist ServiceWe booked our move 2 days beforehand and the whole process was quick and easy. Moved from a one bed unit last Thursday in heatwave conditions. Thanks Georgette, Ibrahim & Abis were extremely professional and made the day much less stressful than I expected. Nothing was a problem for them and they were very helpful.

- Removalist ServiceGreat customer experience over the phone. Online website is really good. Team was punctual, recieved a call half an hour and SMS Confirmation a day before. Will highly recommend.
- Removalist ServiceWe moved from a 4 bedroom house with a long narrow drive. Wayne advised a smaller vehicle which in hindsight was exactly right. Despite this meaning 2 trips (only 14km return) it meant that the van was close to the house. The two guys worked tirelessly for 8 hours. Took care to wrap and transport the big stuff. Would definitely use again.
- 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.
