Moving is a stressful situation for anyone. No matter what services you’re using, how you’re using them, the price you’re getting; the move is one of the most stressful parts of going from one place to another. However, the services can make a difference when it comes to the move. Using the right ones can provide you with the help you need so you can stress just a little bit less than if you were to move it all on your own. Truck after truck of moving endless boxes and furniture is not how anyone envisions their move going, which means that you should consider the extra help that can be had when moving items from one place to the next.

Compare the two most used moving services out there, and then decide which would be the best to go with for the move that you want to make. Remember, everyone is different and what might be right for someone else, might not be the best for you.

Traditional Moving Companies 

Traditional moving companies provide the backbone needed to move your items in one swift movement. They provide the truck that you need, in many different sizes depending on the amount of rooms you’re going to be moving, and the equipment required to move those items. Some traditional moving companies can also provide the labor if necessary. When you need man power to move the items, this can be reserved for an additional price.

How They Work

Obtain a large truck to move your items yourself, and reserve additional moving items such as a dolly, furniture mover pads or coverings from a traditional moving company. Add additional movers to come and help with the moving, if needed for an added cost. Allow them to move everything, drive the truck and unload for you for a fee. You can then have stress free moving throughout the entire weekend.

These moving companies may charge a flat rate, a mileage rate or other rate depending on the length of the move and the days when the vehicle is needed. A licensed driver will have to operate the vehicle at all times, and the movers might be able to provide you with everything that is required in order for them to drive the vehicle, instead of having you drive it.

Pods Storage and Moving Units 

Pods storage and moving units can be used for both storage and moving. When moving out of a place, and having a wait in between, you need a way to store your items and move them at the same time. By considering the unit that can store your items during this period, as well as have them delivered to the new place; you’re saving yourself time, money and stress in the process.

How They Work

They store the pod for you for a length of time, you let them know and you pay a small fee each month for the storage unit. When you’re ready to move into the new home, you give them a call and have them drop off the items to you. You can then unpack the pod and they take it away. No foot work, no hassle, just a call to get access to all of your items when your new home is ready for move in.
