Why Should You Pick Self-Service Moving?

Self-service moves are great for people who:

Want to save money on labor
Know how to pack your things
If you don't mind doing heavy lifting or have friends who can assist
You are in charge of loading, packing, transporting and unloading, giving you full control over your move and helping you save money

How Does Self-Service Moving Work?

1. You Pack It

You can pack up and get your things ready whenever you want. You can even fill up a moving trailer, container or pods.

2. Your Rent a Moving Truck

You can rent a moving truck to transport your belongings

3. You Save

Don't pay for full-service, just pay for truck rental and other packing material.
