What is Melbourne to Hervey Bay 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.

Bree from Muval was incredible with arranging our move - made the whole process so easy!! Highly recommend Muval and its epic customer service
Muval has made organising this move so much easier. We had several things go wrong with the house and other things but the people at Muval were quick and helpful, knew who I was when I called and found better prices than we could ourselves....
Rhea has been very helpful in assisting with arrangements. Dates, timeframes and price have been excellent. I trust the pick up and delivery drop goes smoothly and to plan.
Rhea from Muval has been extremely efficient and helpful in securing me a booking for my interstate removal. She was patient with my questions given it was my first time booking here. I highly recommend her and Mucal
Marty and the team at Muval ( through their network of removalists) made my complex move of an entire house worth of new joinery from Perth to Sydney a breeze. Very professional and timely . Highly recommend!
Elly was the rep who helped me. She saved me on the last minute with a removals within reasonable price. Thanks a lot to her
Always kept in touch and aprized of what was available
Went with Muval after searching for a good moving company. I was contacted by Mitchell who was very friendly and personable, he really made me feel like a human and not just another customer. Their rates were pretty decent when compared to ...
They arranged removalists to cart my stuff from Sydney to the Central Coast. The whole process was quick and efficient and good value for money.
Sharon couldnt have been more helpful, friendly and professional. She made things so easy and was always available if I had any questions. I can highly recommend Sharon fir all your moving needs. She is a credit to Muval.
Anna was incredibly helpful! She helped me organise my move after Id tried booking with three other companies with no success. Thank you so much Muval, Ill be calling again for help when I next move house.
From the initial enquiry to making the booking, the team were considerate, professional and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend and definitely use again if moving homes.
Julius was a great help and very responsive to all calls, messages and emails.
Mitchell was great to work with. He made the process of booking and working with the removalists really easy. The quality of the movers was great.
Muval found me an excellent removalist. Given my last three were dreadful, I wasn't expecting any pleasant surprises. I guess because Muval can offer repeat business for the removalist companies, those companies are more likely to put in th...
Had a great experience booking my recent move through Muval. I didn't realise end of year is a busy time for moving and couldn't get a booking through my usual guys. Found Muval on search and was given the exact time that I wanted. Was upda...
Spoke to Sharon from Murval. It was my first time organising a move interstate and she could not have been more helpful and reassuring.
I recently used Muval to find and compare removalists for my upcoming move, and I couldn't be happier with the service. From the beginning, the platform was user-friendly and provided various options tailored to my needs. The ability to com...

No, The moving company you book will load and unload the truck with a minimum of two professional removalists.
Muval is a booking platform. We find reliable moving companies at a competitive rate. We help companies fill their space with customers that are happy to fit in with the truck schedule. It is called a shared load option.
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.
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
This can be organised but will incur an extra charge.
Reading reviews is a great way to determine if a removalist is the right one for you. Platforms like Google, Product Review or Muval are great for this because they have built-in mechanisms to ensure reviews are from genuine people that have actually interacted with that business.
However, we advise to be cautions of moving companies with hundres of reviews and a perfect 5 star rating on these platforms as reviews unfortunately can be faked. Don't get us wrong: honest companies with a perfect 5 star rating do exist and they are excellent (we have a few on our platform!). But, given the nature of furniture removalist work, something, at some point, is bound to go wrong. Maybe the truck breaks down and is late for a job. Maybe someone accidentally trips and some items in a box are damaged. Whatever it is, accidents unfortunately do happen and these sorts of occassions rarely attract a 5 star rating.
Because of this, companies with a 4.5 or above rating are often just as good as a company with a perfect 5. So, we suggest, instead of looking for all 5-star reviews, take a look at a companies worst reviews and pay special attention to how they responded to the issue. Were they sympathetic? Did they respond promptly? Did they offer a resolution? Were they contactable for the customer to voice their concerns? These are the sorts of things that separate the best removalists from those who don't deliver a high level of service.

When quoting on your job, we provide the name and reviews of the company that matches your inquiry. Although we vet every company on our system, we encourage you to do your own due dilligence on the company you choose.
If you change your list of items or space required a week before your move, we can usually adjust the price accordingly. In some circumstances this won’t be possible depending on the booking volume and amount of change and notice provided.
