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.

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 ServiceMohammad and Anas were great! I can really recommend them. Nothing got broken (despite the fact that I packed everything really badly)! They were very pleasant and friendly.
- Removalist ServiceWas moved by The Company last weekend - [names removed] moved me much faster than I expected and were very good with getting tricky bits of furniture out of the house. The price was very reasonable too. I've used a number of removalists and these were amongst the best.
- Removalist ServiceLike the service. Like the fact they are really organised. Top job team.
- Removalist ServiceI've used The Company to move both interstate and within Sydney and both times I couldn't fault them. On time, kept me updated, offered different payment types, polite and courteous, great communication from the head office too. Will definitely use these guys again. Plus they were the most affordable for my interstate move. I went straight to them for my latest move.
- 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 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 ServiceThanks guys for efficient service.
Certainly choose you guys in future over other
thanks
- Removalist ServiceI am extremely grateful to The Company for making the mammoth task of office relocation manageable.
From the initial visit of Charlie, providing knowledgeable and reassuring advice to the punctual arrival of Ibrahim with his courteous, enthusiastic, hardworking team, the relocation was handled efficiently and professionally!
- Removalist ServiceI organised the removal of a storeroom full of goods for a client from one home to another, with a collection of something from a third home en route. From beginning to end, it was a thoroughly professional service and an absolute pleasure to deal with The Company. They made the whole process to smooth, literally quick and easy. Very cost competitive too and a real can-do attitude.
- Removalist ServiceFantastic job from the team, they were afficiant and made a stressful job relatively stress free.
They also helped out moving the funture around my new place.
I highly recommend the team.
- Removalist ServiceRemovalist arrived on time and introduced themselves and got straight to work. No stopping apart from a revival water intake. Fast and careful. Arrived at new address not long behind us and were even faster unloading. Impressed all round with The Company as our chosen removalist and even more happy with payment after numerous quotes. Cheers and high five to you both Will and Sam.
- Removalist ServiceHi
I moved my 3rd floor walk up one bedroom apartment with The Company. Their team were punctual, polite and efficient as well as being personable. The whole thing was over in about 3hrs and I was very happy with the service provided.
- Removalist ServicePaddy and Phil are awesome. Funny guys, they worked their butts off in high heat, they are extremely proffessional and took amazing care of our furniture. I will be using them again when we relocate. Thank you very much for an amazing effort under tough conditions, we live in mountain goat country.
- 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 ServiceTaz you promised me the best service, price & hassle free move & it was....what a relief!
Although we moved from a 2 bedroom apartment only 200 meters up the road the guys were on time, every so caring of our belongings & courteous.
Job well done, many thanks :)
- Removalist ServiceWe were moving interstate and needed time accuracy. Our truck arrived on time. All of our furniture and boxes were loaded efficiently. At the other end everything was done professionally. The removalists were friendly and understanding of my three old tearing around the place. The booking was also easy and the staff were very professional.
- Removalist ServiceWe moved a very well stocked two bedroom apartment, including a digital piano.
The two guys that did our our move were professional and friendly as well as strong and hard working. They took great care packing our items into the truck so there was no damage. They were even very diplomatic with some neighbours cranky about having to wait for the lift.
The booking process was easy with prompt responses. Very reasonable people to deal with.
Would definitely recommend.
- Removalist ServiceMy experience with The Company was exactly that! From the moment I made my booking to the actual move itself, the service was excellent in all respects! I particularly appreciated the punctuality of the professional removers, the care taken in removing my items and the efficiency of the move itself. They made what otherwise would have been an extremely stressful experience, a smooth and efficient process! I would definitely recommend The Company to anyone interested in a quick, efficient and stress-free move!
