We've got the best helpers for moving and loading a Uhaul

It takes some experience to know how to stack a truck. For instance, you would not want to stack a light box with your desk lamps underneath your boxes of books. How about TV’s, where’s the best place to put them in the U-Haul truck? This can depend on the load, but it's very important to make sure your TVs are put in a safe place. For your DIY movers, I suggest placing your TV on your couch, lying flat, or if you're boxing your TV, you can stand it alongside of a mattress. See details how to load your U-Haul on our blog.

Professional movers will know what furniture items stood-up long ways can best utilize the space on the truck. Such as, long triple dressers, couches and sometimes love seats. Keep in mind, when doing this, your furniture should be properly protected from scratches with heavy duty moving blankets. That said, the biggest space saving tip is to stack to the roof and don’t leave any gap unfilled. This should be the best Tetris game of your life and it’ll also keep your furniture from shifting around while in transit. 

When moving a family home, this will take multiple days. Packing itself will take most of any free time an average adult has for about a week. The loading and unloading a truck will typically take 1 to 2 days for a local move. By hiring professional moving helpers, you will ensure your job gets done much quicker with less stress on the whole family.

This is probably the most important point. When lifting heavy and awkward shaped items it's important to follow safe lifting techniques. Injuries also happen when carrying items up the ramp on the truck or even down the stairs at your house. Moving helpers encounter these obstacles every day and are much better equipped to navigate them.

For most moves we suggest moving dollies, box carts, power drill, plastic wrap, and tape. by hiring moving helpers they will typically bring the tools needed to complete your move. 

Many times, people underestimate the cost of doing it themselves. Many folks need to take multiple days off of work to handle what professional movers can handle in one day. Loss of wages can be a big factor. Not to mention the cost of a rental truck, truck insurance, fuel, rental dollies, tools for assembly, boxes and the list goes on. When you add this all up it looks like a big headache. 

This is why many of our clients prefer the stress relief of letting professionals handle it. If you need to hire labor help or affordable movers for your whole move, please give us a call for a stress free quote 813-444-7716.
