What is Brisbane to Cairns backloading?
Backloading is when you book the remaining truck space on a truck that’s already booked by someone else. It often means you may have to be slightly flexible on your pickup and delivery dates & times, but in turn it usually means big cost savings relative to booking a "primary load".
Booking backloads is a common practice among interstate removalists, who are often willing to give cheap or discounted prices 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.

Muval were responsive and recommended a mover that fit into our timeframe and budget. Very happy with the service.
Their customer service is very good. I recommend them to someone looking for removalist service. Kelvin was very helpful, happy to answer any questions I may have, and provided me with the best options.
Mitchell was awesome with providing a quote and setting up the movers! Definitely will be using Muval again!
Dion was able to assist me in the breakdown of what needed to go on the truck & the amount of boxes that I would have which gave me the confidence with the accuracy of the quote. He found a removalist whose costs were extremely competitive....
Had a great experience with Muval, specially with Mitchell ( he was very helpful). The movers were also good. I can confidently suggest this to anybody who is planning to move.

The cost for your local move will depend on how long your move takes. Some dishonest moving companies quote very cheap hourly or half-hourly rates to get your job, and then work slowly on the day or surprise you with additional charges in order to make more money.
Unless they are running a limited special offer, most honest removal companies need to charge at least $45 per half hour or more in order to pay their staff (two people usually come to load and unload the truck for you), pay their insurances, and make sure their trucks are serviced regularly.
