With the MoveAmerica Flex Moving System, you decide how much loading and unloading help you want. Load yourself, use friends or family, or request professional third-party moving crews while MoveAmerica handles the long-distance transportation.
One of the biggest advantages of the MoveAmerica Flex Moving System is flexibility. You are not required to purchase a traditional full-service move.
Instead, you decide how much labor you want based on your budget, schedule, physical ability and personal preference.
Many MoveAmerica customers pack and load their own household goods to reduce moving costs and maintain direct control over how their belongings are handled.
You may use family members, friends, neighbors or other people you choose to help load or unload your shipment.
If you prefer professional assistance, MoveAmerica can help arrange third-party professional loaders or unloaders at your origin, destination or both.
You can use professional loaders at one end of the move and handle the other end yourself, or combine your own labor with professional help.
Experienced loaders understand how to stack furniture, boxes and household goods efficiently while minimizing wasted trailer space.
Good loading technique may reduce the number of linear feet your shipment occupies. It can also help protect furniture and other belongings by improving stacking, blocking, bracing and weight distribution.
Professional loading assistance can therefore be especially useful for customers who want the convenience of experienced labor while still benefiting from the flexibility of the MoveAmerica Flex Moving System.
Professional loading or unloading help can be requested as part of your MoveAmerica quote and move planning process.
Tell MoveAmerica whether you need assistance at the origin, destination, or both. Crew availability, rates and scheduling can vary by location and date.
A good planning practice is to arrange for the MoveAmerica trailer to be delivered before the professional loading crew is scheduled to begin loading.
Some preparation can still be completed before the trailer arrives, such as wrapping furniture, organizing boxes and bringing items closer to the loading area.
However, the trailer must ultimately be available for the loading process to be completed efficiently.
Proper preparation is one of the most important parts of protecting household goods during a long-distance move.
Furniture, televisions, tables, chairs, lamps, dressers, artwork, glass and other items that can be scratched, dented or broken should be properly padded, wrapped, packed and secured.
Proper moving pads provide significantly better furniture protection than thin household blankets, sheets or paper coverings.
Televisions, glass, lamps, mirrors, artwork and other fragile items need appropriate packing and protection.
Tables, chairs, dressers, wood furniture and similar pieces should be protected against rubbing, scratches and movement.
Having boxes, moving pads, tape and other materials ready before loading begins can make the process faster and more efficient.
Any transportation protection, valuation or claims coverage applicable to your move is governed by the specific terms, conditions and agreements associated with your shipment.
Customers should review those terms carefully and ask MoveAmerica about available protection options before the move.
Using proper moving pads and appropriate packing materials is strongly recommended regardless of who performs the loading.
Traditional full-service movers generally combine transportation and labor into one service package. MoveAmerica gives you another option.
