Self Service Moving Basics
Since budgeting your move is tops on everyone’s to-do list, this type of moving service is one of the most popular. With a self-service move, you can reduce costs by completing the physical labor of the move yourself and then sharing the unused portion of your trailer with a commercial shipment.
If you are confused about what space sharing means, don’t worry, it is nothing that affects your ability to use as much of the trailer as you need. When you are all packed and loaded, any unused portion is then secured by a commercial client who then shares the cost with you, reducing your total fees. Your shipment will be the only household goods on the trailer. A special sealed divider will separate your household goods from the commercial goods.
To make sure you’re making the most out of your move with the least amount of labor and stress, plan ahead for your inventory, packing and loading. Read up on the right moving and loading tips to ensure that you’re packing the trailer the right way and, above all else, label your boxes!
- Start by taking an inventory of what you have.
- Move only items of use or value to you in your new home. That couch sitting in the basement might have fond memories, but if you aren’t going to have a place to put it in your new home after your Self Service Move, leave it behind.
