Cost-effectiveness is at the very core of every moving process. Moving is expensive, and every dollar counts. However, not many people know that you don’t have to get full service when hiring a moving company. Instead, you can hire professional movers only to load and unload the truck.
They will advise you on the size of the truck you should rent, can provide you with wrapping and packing materials so you’d avoid waste, and will do it much faster than you and your friends would. That results in a much lower price for a premium service that will save you a lot of headaches.
Plus, you won’t risk being bruised, injuring your back, or breaking your fingers – that can lead to unwanted medical expenses too! Because they are professionals, certain perks that come with the service and have a significant impact on the final price. Those include:
1. They Know How to Maximize the Space
Professional movers have gone through specialized training to learn how to pack items safely and maximize the truck space. You can think of them as masters of Tetris; they can fit your whole life in a single truck, allowing you to fully utilize the space. It means that not only your goods will be in great hands, but the chances are that your cost is going to be lower if you were to hire professional movers to load the truck.
Our professional movers can:
- Easily figure out the size of the rental truck you need to fit all your belongings
- Bring their high-quality packing supplies
- Easily assemble and disassemble furniture
- Safely stack your belongings on top of each other
- Distribute the weight evenly
- Know the order in which to load and unload the items
If you were to do it by yourself, you might need to rent more than one truck, which is an expense that can be avoided. Movers also save time and time is money, which is out next benefit.
2. Movers Operate Faster
When it comes to moving, the faster is the better. It is very stressful and bothersome when the whole move lasts longer than it should. If you’re trying to complete the move all by yourself, it will take some time to figure things out because you don’t have any experience. Professional movers will load and unload your truck in a blink of an eye because, for them, it’s like making coffee or brushing teeth. It comes naturally to them because they’ve been working in this industry for a long time. Also, when you have two professionally trained individuals, you get the best of both worlds – speed and reliability.
3. They Won’t Damage Your Stuff
When it comes to packing items, there is a correct and incorrect way of doing it. Items are categorized by size, weight, fragility, material, etc. And, each category needs to be packed, wrapped, and loaded in a certain way. That is where education takes over motivation. They know how to wrap your items to avoid scratches and tears, and they have a lot of other cool tricks up their sleeves.
Regardless of how motivated you are, or think that packing things is easy, the truth is that packing is complicated and detail-oriented. However, if you are hiring professionals, likely, you won’t have to worry about damages at all – they know what they’re doing. Here’s why:
- Know which wrapping materials to use for every item;
- Have tools to load and unload items;
- Know which items can be packed together and which ones have to be wrapped separately;
- Won’t damage the floors, walls, doorways, etc.;
- Know how not to waste materials and damage the environment.
Loading and unloading a truck involves a lot of heavy lifting and other difficult tasks. The hallways are tiny and narrow, the stairs are unbearable, and carrying large items is never fun. If you’d like to have a more care-free and stress-free experience, then don’t hesitate to book labor-only moving services for your move. That way, you’re still getting the best service for a fraction of the price.
