Truck Rental
Truck rental is an option you must consider, whether you are moving across the country or just across town, although finding a truck rental service is not the most pleasant process of moving. It's kind of like trying to find an honest car salesman and a reliable auto mechanic at the same time, while transplanting everything you own and starting your life over. I heard many horror stories of people who used a truck rental company services and the truck wasn’t available when they went to pick it up, or it broke down on the road, etc. When I was looking for a truck rental service I made a large online survey and read users’ reviews in many sites, as I didn’t want to be another horror story of a truck rental goes bad. I read many positive reviews on Budget Truck Rentals services and I decided to use their services. I rented the 10' moving truck , as I used full service movers for my home and I used the truck rental services for a limited number of items I wanted to deliver myself. There’re a few things you should consider when you go to order a truck rental service: Make your reservation well in advance – it helps to ensure the best availability and better prices Move on a weekday , when banks, utilities and government offices are open (less demand for trucks means lower rates) Make sure you have the right insurance coverage Load the heaviest items first, in front and on the floor. Load lightest items last, on the top and to the rear When unloading the rental truck use caution when opening the rear door because the cargo may have shifted Always allow for extra braking room when driving a moving van. Anticipate stops and allow a 3-second gap between you and the vehicle in front of you. If you are driving in adverse weather, such as rain, snow or fog, use at least a four second gap Moving Trucks are taller than passenger cars, if you don’t know the overhead clearance get out of the truck and make sure that you are clear of any obstruction
