What is Backloading?
Backloading is a common practice in the removals industry, 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 ServiceHad a great experience with these guys moving from Canberra to Melbourne. Rick and Gary were legends, got the job done with great humour and smiles after a big stressful weekend. Thank you both.
- Removalist ServiceHighly recommend The Company to friends. The process in arranging was smooth and very easy to request a quote. Dealt with them to arrange the move and they were very helpful. The guys doing the moving on the day were fantastic and super quick. AAA +++ rating
- Removalist ServiceApex removals helped us move from Coffs to lennox- from initial contact with Daniel to the guys moving us and settling us into our new home- was great! Everyone was friendly and efficient! Great price too. Hopefully we won't need to move anytime soon but if we do, we'll use apex removals again. Great service with a smile!!
- Removalist ServiceI moved my one bedroom home without fuss or a headache. The guys who turned up were pleasant and friendly. Nothing was too hard. They were very careful with the furniture to ensure nothing was damaged. Great service and would recommend them.
- Removalist ServiceWe have dealt with Jodie and Geoff over the past year for our small and growing business @Barnaby_Lane. They have always been so professional and accommodating to our business and it's needs. They have been a crucial partner to us in solving all of our logistical needs and we are so thankful for that. Our customers have always been happy with the service provided - particularly as everything arrives safely and on time. Thanks guys - you are doing a great job! Rae & the team @Barnaby_Lane
- Removalist ServiceI under estimated how much stuff I really had, this posed a problem, but [name removed] from The Company sorted it all out, we originally thought we had 45 square metres, so ordered the appropriate truck, it soon became apparent that we at least needed the 65 square metre truck, in the end we had 105 square metres in both storage units and items to move, maths is not my strong point, so others take note.
It was a huge strain on us as we were moving over 200 kilometres from Sydney, The Company gave me a great rate for 3 movers and trucks, a big thanks to [name removed] for his patience and doing his best for the customer.
All moves are fraught with calamities, I have never moved yet without one, the biggest issue was the amount of boxes we had, the stuff and furniture, would it all fit and where, on the excellent advice of [name removed] we arranged for a larger storage unit and then we needed another, with more time we would have rationalised more, but time was against us.
The calamities were many, one of my prized Koi carp died of heart failure, one of the young movers [name removed] twisted his ankle and collided with my exercise bike, causing some minor damage, (more excuse not to use it), then the folowing day we had a replacement for [name removed] and [names removed] came on board, [name removed] is such a friendly and happy go lucky fellow, he sufferred no injury, poor [name removed] on the other hand got bitten by one our prize wasps and it knocked him out for a while, one of these wasps tried it on me also, so we got rid of that issue and got on with the job.
With any moving firm, if you have a lot of stuff and you have poor access, pay for three men otherwise you will need to pitch in, one mover needs to be the packing specialist in the truck, this is no excuse, its fact, [name removed] was this fellow and his ability to fit things in holes which you would not think would fit was amazing, the trucks were all full to the brim, top to botom, no room to move, which is good, there was no damage in transit we could find and all valuable and fragile items were bubble wrapped and fully insured, don't skimp it isn't worth it. [name removed], said he would give me a good price on wrapping, I said give me a bad price, this will fit in with all the other issues, we all had a good laugh. A sense of humour when you move is very important and all the guys were great in this regard, [name removed] and I built up quite a good rapport as I showed him respect, he was in charge of this logistical operation and deserves respect for his ability.
I had a 55 and a 21 square metre truck on the first day and a 55 metre truck on the second and they were always full and we still have 3 trailer loads to go which we will try and move over the coming months as we donate and rationalise, remember do this first, don't pay for excess stuff, I probably wasted a good $1000 to transport items I will eventually donate, but this was a personal choice as some of it I have inherited and part of that is to donate the items to a certain group.
I only have compliments for [name removed] and his team, once again, to have a successful move, you need a [name removed], he was never bludging, he was co-ordinating the pack, this is an artform and how well it is done, determines how many trucks you will need and the effort you will need toput in, I have had movers before who never used the entire internal capacity of the truck, when there is free space, you will get damage, tight packing is the best and safest way to transport a load.
I'd use The Company again, the only compaint is I had too much stuff and I paid for it, the two moves and all the gear cost just under $5000, this hurts, but essentuially you are hiring a truck, paying wages of 3 men and Diesel at $150 per litre for two days over 800 kilometres, that is not a cheap exercise and other movers quoted me double this price. Most will supply a 45 metre square truck and two men for around the $2300 mark, note what we had.
Thanks to The Company
- Removalist ServiceIbrahim and Abdullah arrived on time and were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They were quick and careful with my stuff, going from a 2 bedroom unit to a granny flat. One of the guys even made a quick small repair to my tall boy. So kind.
Also Georgette in the office was very understanding when I had to change the date a couple of times.
As a single woman all this help was very much appreciated.
Excellent service at a very stressful time.
Thank you.
Sandra
- Removalist ServiceLike the service. Like the fact they are really organised. Top job team.
- Removalist ServiceService was Great!
I moved from a 1 bedroom apartment with a lot of boxes and furniture and the guys from The Company were more than excellent! They called when they were on their way, and arrived on time with the most positive and professional attitudes. They moved all my furniture so carefully and quickly as it was possible. They wrapped my mattress and big furniture for free and Not a single thing was damaged in this whole process of transportation.
Upon arrival at my new home they unpacked and took all items to their destined rooms, offering to move heavy furniture into it's final position before leaving.
I recommend The Company : 100% BRILLIANT!.
- Removalist ServiceI would like to highlight the excellent customer service from The Company. They lady who booked my removal was lovely - very helpful and accommodating.
The 2 Gentlemen who conducted my move were fantastic, and really took all the stress of moving away from me. They were very efficient and handled my belongings and furniture with care. They even dismantled and then assembled my bed.
I would highly recommend this company and will defo use them for all future moves
- Removalist ServiceGreat work to The Company
-Mark and william was very attentive to detail
- they didnt waste time, so value for your money
- went xtra mile to finish up the job.
- they were caring towards the stuff
- had patience to assemble and move, no rush
- Removalist ServiceWhen everything else was going wrong on the day, one thing that kept me stress free was the movers from The Company. I had to change booking about 4 times due to the changes in settlement and in each occasion i was accomodated with no questions asked . The guys do not waste time and just get the job done. Make sure you get him on the team. The guy himself is full of enthusiasm and no job is hard for him. They listen, ask questions and make everything for your piece of mind. I have recommended them to my colleagues at work. Message to Chris: hope your son has arrived safely to this world and both mom and yourself enjoying his company. Sam.
- Removalist ServiceA big thanks to Charlie and the team for such a great moving experience!
With some awkward items and a lot of stairs, the move was highly efficient and my stuff was all well taken care of, no damage! The team on the day was very polite and was able to make the whole process an enjoyable, stress free experience. The quote I received was considerably cheaper than other companies I approached, and there were no hidden fees or costs.
If you are moving, I would definitely recommend the services of The Company
- Removalist ServiceThe Company are awesome! I had booked a storage facility in Maroochydore and organised for the delivery on Sunday, but the storage facility wasn't open. Daniel organised another storage facility and paid for it until i got here on the Sunshine Coast. They are very professional and did an exceptional job. Well done Daniel & team. I would recommend to anyone this removal company!
- Removalist ServiceMy partner and I were extremely impressed with this company. We were moving a five bedroom house and a garage and every bit of care was taken. The three guys ( one packing the truck) were friendly and had a lot of patience as I ummmed and ahhhed about where things should go. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I never want to move again but would not hesitate to recommend them. Thanks guys ( I didn't get a chance to thank you before you left!)
- Removalist ServiceEasy to book, lots of communication with team around timings and changes. The two men that moved us did an exceptional job and were very professional. They took care of our belongings and moved these quickly but with ease ensuring nothing was damaged.
They have resorted my confidence and faith with moving firms. Very friendly, affordable, extremely efficient and I would recommend these guys to anyone who is moving. Reduces the stress knowing you have competent people assisting with the move.
- Removalist ServiceThe Company were highyl professional, easy to do business with and very competitively priced. They offered great customer service with the booking and reminder phone calls. The removalists on the day of our move were polite, careful and efficient. Will definitely use The Company for my next move.
- Removalist ServiceVery good
