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 ServiceVery happy with their service they are quick neat they wrapped all my furniture for free
- Removalist ServiceWe moved an office of 18 staff, and these guys were fantastic. From start to finish, there was great communication and the removal team were sensational...very careful and logical. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for office moves, they are great to deal with. Charlie was a fantastic chap to liaise with, and made the move easy and efficient.
- 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 ServiceIt was a small move of items from my late Aunt's Unit in Sydney including a large wooden glass cabinet that was well wrapped with great care in bubble wrap and the four large boxes of fragile items were unbroken. A large table and six chairs plus a wooden trunk was also delivered. I spoke to [name removed] twice after he sent a quote to my friend and he couldn't have been more helpful. He rang me this week to check on the move and also my friend in Sydney. The Men who organised the move on both days (pick up and delivery) were kind and professional. They were on time. I am so very grateful. I recently had my entire house moved by the large company in Melbourne and I didn't find those who organised it were as helpful as [name removed]. I could contact him easily and he was very reassuring and I knew I could trust his company.
- Removalist ServiceAs you know, moving can be a stressful experience, there are so many things to think about. I used The Company to move from a 3 bedroom home to a storage unit & temporary accommodation. [name removed] were amazing. They treated my belongings with care, were friendly & professional & were an absolute pleasure to work with. I will be moving again in a few months & will be using them again. Great value for money too!
- Removalist ServiceWhat a fantastic experience, the 2 men where very careful with all of our belongings. Turned up on time, where happy, and worked the entire time. It was a seamless move from pick up to delivery, not a wall, or item damaged. I would recommend this business to anyone who needs a removalist. Thanks!!!!!
- Removalist ServiceHi
Just wanted to give you some feedback on the move and the crew who did the move for us over the past few days. They were absolutely brilliant!!!! It was a big job, and the guys worked relentlessly until finished. They were very obliging in every respect which makes a big difference.
All in all, a great effort with a top bunch of guys and I won't hesitate to recommend The Company to anyone I know who is moving in the future.
- Removalist ServiceI think we must have got the hottest weekend of the year to move house. But the guys at The Company were great, they gave me a call and let me know arrival time. When they arrived, they were organised and worked really hard to get everything across to the new place in good time. It wasn't the easiest with the amount of stairs to climb, the heat etc. but it was all handled very well and professionally. The 2 men were polite, efficient and careful with our belongings There were no hidden costs and was by far the best quote I received. I would definitely recommend them.

- Removalist ServiceWe used the services of The Company to move our office - 7 staff members in total. Charlie and his team of removalists were an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks to the the team at QThe Company the move was smoother than we could have imagined. Everyone and everything promised to us was on time and the team of removalists who attended our office over the weekend were polite, professional and so helpful.
- Removalist ServiceThese guys know their work very well..they are professionals..i was amazed the way they fitted all my belongings in their truck and made sure everything was secure amd safe.
Highly recommend them.
- Removalist ServiceI recently used Apex to move from Byron to Melbourne. I found them competitive in their pricing but what stood out for me was the professionalism I sensed from the moment with Daniel. Once I secured them I was continually surprised and impressed their customer service. The 3 guys who packed my life up were incredible. They cared about every item they touched, they listened to me and packed everything skilfully into the truck. I was blown away by their attitude and the fact that everything arrived in tact. Thank you so much Daniel and thank you for your careful selection of great staff, I seriously have never experience such great revivalists.
