What Is U-Load Self Moving?
How To Save Time and Money On Your Move
The MoveAmerica "U-Load-We Drive" concept is a relatively new self-moving method created by MoveAmerica in 1995 which results in tremendous savings to you over conventional ways of moving such as contracting with a van line, loading a freight trailer, or renting and driving a truck. Our service, which is known as "Self Service Moving", replaces expensive van line labor with your own or that of your family and friends. By doing so you can move thousands of miles and put your hard earned money where it belongs: In your pocket! Forget costly movers and forget renting and driving a truck. No need to pay for gas, tolls, truck insurance, mileage, and all the other costs of truck rental. Don't want to load yourself? We can arrange professionals to do that too and you still save!
You can easily end up saving thousands of dollars over a typical van line move, and we almost always less expensive than truck rental even without counting the cost of gas, tolls, insurance, and mileage. And, our service is much safer and cleaner than loading some trucker's freight trailer.
Sometimes we are thousands of dollars less than the competition. You must admit that's pretty amazing considering you don't have to rent, pickup, drive, insure, and deliver the truck. You can even save substantially if you hire professional loaders arranged by MoveAmerica! How do we know so much about it? Because MoveAmerica, with 106 years of family moving heritage to draw upon, was the company which 15 years ago created and implemented this "self service moving" method that has become so popular with our customers. Others may imitate, but we are proud that we were the first to "originate".
The MoveAmerica U-Load™ concept works because your shipment is loaded safely and securely in our clean, waterproof, and lockable Moving Vaults™ which we have delivered to your driveway or parking lot on the day you wanted. Professionals then transport your loaded and locked containers directly to our destination agent's secure facility, where they are unloaded until you want delivery. At that point, the Moving Vaults™ are delivered directly to your driveway where you can unload. After that, we pickup the empty containers and your move is complete!
Essentially, you are moving your household goods at common carrier cargo rates, which are one third to one half those charged by a typical "van line". This huge savings is a function of many factors, some of which are that you are supplying the labor, that household goods movers are seasonal companies and thus have to make most of their profit in the busy moving season, while MoveAmerica and its carrier partners do not, and that MoveAmerica trailers move on defined "regular" routes where traffic is always available. Household goods movers operate on irregular routes, and have to go looking for shipments wherever they can find one.
Therefore, MoveAmerica can move you far less expensively than truck rental or household goods carriers, move you faster and more reliably, and save you time, money, and effort. If you like, we can even coordinate loading and unloading of your shipment by experienced professional movers at very attractive prices.
