Best DIY Moving Truck Guide: NYC Mover Van Strategies & Free Professional Quotes

by PRC Agency PR

Have you ever seen someone driving a huge truck, badly, and thought, "Wow, they are in over their heads!"

I'm sure you have, we all have - what's important though, the reason I wrote this blog, is to help you not to be that person.

I'm not saying you shouldn't drive a big truck, if that's something you want to do, then I wish you all the best - but please, read this free guide from Movers.com first.

It explains the precautions you should take before you drive that big moving truck, and how to make sure all your furniture, and your self, arrives safely at your new home.

If you're considering driving the truck yourself to save a few bucks, well you're definitely not alone - but whether or not it's a good idea still remains to be seen. Obviously, I can't tell you if it's a good idea or not, since we've never even met, but I can provide some helpful suggestions.

The first one is this: Be careful and take your time.

Start by reading the free guide from Movers.com that explains everything, starting with what to do when you pick up the truck, and how to load it evenly.

It goes through all the steps, one at a time, like checking your tires, mirrors, and fuel level before you even get moving. It also suggests checking for interior or exterior damage to the vehicle, and taking photos, so that you aren't blamed for damages caused by previous drivers.

Once the vehicle has been assessed and is ready to drive, the guide discusses basic strategies for packing the vehicle. This is more important than you might think, even if you're not traveling far.

There are two big reasons you don't want to skip this step or slack on proper loading.

The first is to protect your stuff, since falling over in the truck can cause some pretty extensive damage. The second reason is to prevent road accidents, because if you pack all the weight on one side, or the load shifts, it could throw the truck in a direction you're not expecting.

Is this all sounding a bit too complicated?

Well, don't give up yet, especially if you've only read my summary and not the actual free guide from Movers.com. It explains everything in a lot more detail, and has way more tips than I've been able to mention here.

If it is too much though, that's alright too, and it's good that you can admit that now, rather than once you're stuck in traffic in a giant moving van.

Here's what I suggest, if you still want to save some cash, but don't want to drive the truck - just hire a professional.

But don't hire just any professional, hire the top-rated, pre-screened, cost-effective team that will get the job done right, at a price you can afford.

Does it sound like I'm about to suggest a particular moving company, and this was all one big advertisement? Don't worry, that's not what's happening here at all - I don't have a favorite, but I do have a way for you to find the best option, based on your unique needs.

Here's how it works, first, click right here to go to Movers.com, and look for a big green button that says "Get Quotes."

When you click it, you'll be taken to a simple form that allows you to fill in some details about your move, and get up to 7 quotes from local professionals, absolutely free, and with zero obligation.

It's up to you if you want to hire someone just to drive the truck to your new place, or if you want to hire a full-service team that will pack up your old house, load the truck, drive it, unload it, and even unpack your stuff at your new home.

Personally, I wouldn't even make that decision yet - because I'm all about efficiency.

I would go to Movers.com first, read the free strategy guide to get an idea of what my options are, then fill in the quote tool to get my free estimates.

Once you know your options, how hard they are to DIY, and what it costs to have a professional do it instead - then you can make the call.

Don't just make a decision, make an educated decision - that's what Movers.com is all about.
