What is Canberra to Melbourne 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.

Grace was amazing in organising our move! The guys that helped us move were extremely cautious in how they secured and packed everything! Would highly recommend them!
We booked through Muval last minute and they quickly got us a quote. A positive experience.
I have used this company a few times and cant recommend them enough. Especially LJ who has assisted me with my last few moves. She is always super helpful and professional. They always seem to find great removalists at competitive rates.
Mitchell from Muval went the extra mile in prepping my move in the shortest amount of time. Best prices by far against all the big names. A must visit for any quotes
Muval made my recent move - even though a short one - a much easier process. The boys on the crew worked hard all day. Thanks
Noel & the boys from Super GM Transport did a great job moving us from Sydney to Newcastle in one day. They were efficient & happy to put our stuff where we wanted it in our new home.
Scheduling process was super easy. Emman took the time to understand my needs and provided all the information required for me to make a decision. Which I did and have booked it all in, ready for my move! Thankyou again for all your help!...

If you have booked the shared truck option, then yes. If you have booked a premium option, then you will not be sharing the truck.
Packing and unpacking boxes for your house is not usually included by default when you book a removalist. This is a service that needs to be booked separately (you can do this through Muval) or done yourself, and is best arranged for a day or two before your removalist is scheduled to do your uplift.
In our experience, people always dramatically under estimate the time it takes to pack their house, and it's usually one of the most burdensome tasks of moving! If you're packing yourself, make sure you start early and do a couple of boxes a day. Otherwise, save yourself the hassle and book packing services through Muval. Your future self will thank you.
If you need to change the delivery or pick up date, please advise the removalist as early as possible. They can sometimes accommodate changes and reschedule but this has a few variables.
Each company has differing policies about notification before the pickup and delivery. Some companies can provide a time window on booking, others provide this the day before, while others will provide notice within an hour of their arrival.
Yes. This varies depends on which company you are using. Usually, the minimum charge is based on the cost of transporting 5 cubic metres.
It is preferred if you or your representative to be present at the pickup and drop off.
The best way to ensure a successful move day is to be prepared. One way to do this is to notify your removalist about any very heavy or awkward-to-move items before move day. It can never hurt to double-check with them that they understand that you have these items, even if you have also submitted an inventory list. These sorts of items include:
- Grand / Baby grand piano
- Pizza oven
- Concrete furniture
- Pool / snooker tables (particularly slate)
- Many pot plants / large pot plants
Yes, absolutely. Please mention this at the time of booking, as it may make a difference to the provider we match you with.
Some companies will have storage at the destination and some at the pickup. Some even include complimentary storage!
