A new guide by Movers.com provides DIY movers with essential tips for driving a moving truck.
—
Renting a moving truck is currently the most popular moving method - with 37.5% of individuals choosing it, mainly due to affordability. However, Movers.com appreciates that, while affordable, this can also be one of the more stressful moving methods, especially for those who don’t have experience driving a truck. In line with its mission to make moving stress-free, it has released a new guide which covers everything from inspecting the truck to safely navigating busy and narrow roads.

For interstate movers, in particular, Movers.com stresses the importance of thorough vehicle inspection. This includes checking headlights and signals, aligning the mirrors, and inspecting the air in tires, among other things. The guide also recommends taking pictures of any damage and the gas gauge as proof to avoid any unexpected and unjustified charges.
When it comes to loading the truck, the moving specialists offer expert tips on arranging the items in the cargo space to avoid accidents. Movers.com recommends using ratchet straps to securely fasten the boxes and furniture, and carefully balancing the load.
Before moving day arrives, individuals should have their route planned out - and Movers.com suggests using a GPS app and booking hotel accommodation in advance. Once on the road, drivers are advised to drive at lower speeds, maintain a safe distance, avoid overtaking vehicles, and take wider turns than they would with a car.
"Apart from all this, you should consider purchasing insurance from the truck rental company you have chosen and understand the different coverage options offered by them," a spokesperson adds.
For those who decide they would rather leave the entire moving process, or part of it, in the hands of professionals, Movers.com can also provide up to seven moving estimates, at no cost.
