3 Tips To Sharing Box Truck Rentals When Moving
Dennis Jenkins
If you don't have a lot of items to pack up and move, hiring a professional moving service may be a tad excessive. If you can do all of the packing yourself, you might want to consider sharing box truck rentals with other homeowners who are moving in the same general direction. To avoid any conflicts and to ensure a successful move, follow these 3 tips.
Determine Who Should Load the Truck First
When sharing a box truck rental with other homeowners who are moving, the first thing you need to determine is who is going to be loading the truck first. This will depend on where the truck's first destination will be. If the truck is going to stop at your place first, you'll want to load your boxes after the other homeowners, so that they can be easily unloaded first. If you load your belongings first, you will need to unload the boxes belonging to the other homeowners before you can reach your stuff. This adds additional rental time onto the bill.
Divide the Cost of the Rental Fairly
The reason why you're willing to share a box truck rental with other homeowners is probably because you don't have a lot of things that need to be moved in the first place. If this is the case, you definitely want to come to an agreement with how the cost of the rental will be divided. This should depend on the destination of each party and the amount of space used. For example, while you might have used less space, the box rental truck might need to travel to the other side of the city in order to reach your new place of residence. While you might not be using as much space, you're using more gas and adding more mileage onto the truck.
Label and Tie Down Your Boxes to Avoid Getting Them Mixed Up
There's nothing more annoying than finding out that you've accidentally unloaded someone else's moving boxes or to find out that someone else has some of your belongings. To prevent the boxes from getting mixed up, label yours properly and tie down all of your boxes, so that they're together. Use brightly-colored labels or moving boxes to distinguish your stuff from the others.
Conclusion
Be prepared and take the precautions necessary to protect your own interest when sharing box truck rentals with others. It's best to speak with the people that you'll be sharing a rental truck with ahead of time to address any concerns you or they might have.
