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.
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.

Here's a sample of what people say about the removal companies we work with.
- Removalist ServiceThanks to everyone in The Company and easy removals appreciate the good service
- Removalist Service[name removed] and his brother were absolutely amazing and professional removalists. I will highly recommend them to my friends and family. I have not had this experience in the past and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. Should we ever move house again I will certainly be a repeat customer.
- Removalist ServiceI have used other removalist in the past and I've got to say these guys are by far the most professional ones. On time and eager to get the job done properly. Sunny took very good care of all our furniture, and they even helped with the installation of the washing machine. I can't recommend them enough.
- Removalist ServiceWould definitely recommend! Mark and Eddie were fantastic!
- Removalist ServiceFantastic removalists. We had a complex move (down a steep slope) and team were very accommodating. Great sense of humor and highly recommended
- Removalist ServiceWe transported our giant Vivid sculpture with the team at The Company. They helped us load the heavy boxes and associated components carefully, delivering them safely to the installation site. At the last minute we had a change of plans and required an additional move. Within 10 minutes of placing the call The Company had arranged a next day pick up for us.
Both the removal team and the booking team helped us so much, it's easy to know who we will move with next time!
- 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 ServiceI moved from a one bedroom unit to another one bedroom unit in the inner west in 2016, and also a few years ago. Both times the removalists were excellent - friendly, professional and very hard working. I will comment in detail on the most recent move: at every step of the way I received courteous, informed, realistic advice about expectations of timing on the day and planning. I had no bad experiences with anyone in this company. The cost was very competitive. I would use this company again and I recommend them.
- Removalist ServiceMatt and Ali were right on time, professional and of a very friendly nature. Highly recommend to friends and family.
- Removalist ServiceThese people live up to their name. The move was quick and easy for us and the movers were wonderfully professional, efficient and flexible. Nothing was too difficult. Seamless move, lovely people.
- Removalist ServiceWe have just had our cabinet delivered and I wanted to thank all the team, from the office staff to the drivers, for your outstanding service.
All should be commended for your prompt, reliable, excellent communication, professional and pleasant manner.
It was a pleasure doing business with you all and I will not hesitate to recommend you.
Keep up the great work and Thanks again, Tanya
- Removalist ServiceCould not recommend L&L enough. Fantastic company to deal with. We moved a 3bdm house VIC>QLD. Everything arrived on time & in great condition, amazing service.
- Removalist ServiceI moved house on Thursday 10th Aug 17 and it was seamless from start to finish.
From the time i booked the move ( i was on a tight schedule due to circumstances ) turned up at 7am ( as booked ) they got stuck in and got the truck loaded in quick time. On arrival at my new address the same happened in unloading.
The Company took care of all my possessions and there was no damage scratches Nothing!
Nothing was to much trouble for these guys. I gave them a 5 Star rating!!
- Removalist ServiceVery professional and great service
- 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 ServiceHi. I just wanted to say thank you to the team of The Company! I recently had to move on short notice due to personal reasons and was really worried that I may not be able to find anyone. I made quite a few phone calls and found that the people I dealt with The Company were so lovely and happy to help me out. They moved me the same day and after all the stress I went through due to my personal life, I really was surprised when my move went so easy and smoothly.
I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family. I don't normally write reviews but I really wanted to express satisfaction! Honestly, I was a little surprised that your company had bad reviews listed because I didn't have a bad experience. I believe there are two sides to every story and that people are more inclined to write about the bad stuff. I am here to embrace the POSITIVES :) (which is why I was more inclined to write this review)
I couldn't have asked for anything more from your company. From the first apprehensive phone call to the last sigh of relief and smiles. Thanks a million
- Removalist ServiceI organized removalist on Sunday with The Company, they rang half an hour before they arrived and on time and very happy with the serviced and so nice to deal with and I'm very sure will use The Company again for my next move and I have no hesitation to refer to friends about the serviced
- 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.
Our team has used their knowledge and expertise from the industry to put together a range of tips and tricks to use when moving.
