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 ServiceWe highly recommend Scott and his team. Very fair price which was complimented by professional efficient service. Scott's team made a scary job much easier.
- Removalist ServiceRecently did the move from Melbourne to Byron Bay, got multiple, through the roof quotes, that wanted extra for this that and the other thing. Daniel called, which was a shock to begin with, the rest just want to email. He came out, gave us a very competitve quote on the spot and available dates. We did the move without actually having a place to move into, found a place, called Daniel straight away and we had our belongings loaded on the truck that same week! Amazing service and efficiency. Would highly recommend these guys to anyone requiring their services :)
- Removalist ServiceIt was quick, and it was easy. I've personally used The Company myself twice this year. The only things broken during the move were my fault. They guys were efficient and careful. So much so we have started using The Company to provide moving services at my place of work.
- Removalist ServiceProfessional and polite
- Removalist ServiceWe had a 5 Bedroom House in Sydney and hired services of The Company for our recent move 8 hours up North. From receiving the quote to making payments in the end, everything went very smoothly. We were especially impressed by the speed and efficiency of the removalists. We hired a 12 tonne truck with 2 men. We were honestly surprised by the skill and diligence of the 2 removalists. They were friendly, funny and made the whole process as easy as possible, arrived on time and nothing was broken or scratched. They really took care with our belongings. I would definitely recommend the services of The Company to any of my friends looking to move. Thanks so much to The Company.
- Removalist ServiceI have used this company twice. And as the name suggests they are quick and easy. They have proven to be affordable, reliable and efficient on both occassions. The online quoting system is easy to use and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to take the stress out of moving.
- Removalist ServiceWas moving about 2 1/2 rooms worth of stuff about 20 minutes away and the movers did a great job. Very friendly guys who took care when moving furniture and did everything very quickly. Also checked all of the furniture with me to make sure nothing was damaged. They started a bit early which was great, and were done in just over an hour.
Will definitely use The Company in all of my future moves and recommend them to everyone.
- Removalist ServiceGreat service and alot of care taken when loading and unloading. Highly recommend and will happily use this removal company in the future.
- Removalist ServiceThese guys are great, on time and professional ,will use again without a doubt
- Removalist ServiceI just want to quickly point out that the two guys that did the removals for us (they were Babylonian Iraq men about 23 years old) did such an outstanding job. They were so efficient, polite, positive, professional and I will recommend your company to everyone based on those guys alone. They deserve to be recognized because I used to be a removalist and the quality of staff was never as good as those two guys.
- Removalist ServiceWe use The Company on a regular basis to transport furniture from Brisbane to Melbourne. They are punctual, reliable and pretty competitively priced. Their drivers are also friendly and easy to deal with, which is a nice change. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
- Removalist ServiceWhat a fantastic job The Company did for us last weekend to move our 4 Bedroom 2 story home. Right from the 1st query sent to Sarah in the office who answered all my queries and concerns with detail & professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble, they were pleasant throughout the entire day towards the entire family. As we all know, moving can be quiet stressful however working with these fantastic guys removed a little pressure from everyone. During the 8 or so hours on the job, the guys didn't stop pushing themselves to get the job done in a timely manner! The added bonus was the option to hire the boxes and then return them after the move was completed, only one of the fantastic service provided.
I can guarantee these are the guys you want moving your house.
- Removalist ServiceHave moved with The Company before. This time from 2 bedroom apartment to house far drive away.
Booking with Vicky over the phone was pleasant and she promptly sent us an email quotation and confirmation.
Sam and Hani arrived on time. Sam was very patient and helped us pack awkward items. They were very quick and efficient and carefully handled our furniture and items placing them in the correct rooms.
Very good service true to their company name thank you.

- Removalist ServiceJodie was an absolute pleasure to deal with. 10/10 communication throughout the entire process from Jodie & the driver.

- Removalist ServiceGreat experience. Small load to send to Sydney to my daughter and the two men who collected the goods, "Woodsy" and "Patty" were fantastic , quick and efficient and great customer service.
