Under Cheap Moving Trucks+ Moving Trucks
Alright, so it’s late. And believe it or not, this just all popped into my head. So here it is…. “The top 5 reasons why NOW is the worst time to move”
5. Gas prices are so high that you’ll end up at your new place with an empty moving truck because you had to sell everything you owned on the way to your new house just to pay for the gas.
4. They say the prices of houses will keep going lower and lower, and at the rate they are dropping in some areas, we may be paid to live in a house instead of us buying one.
3. The cost to keep a truck on the road is getting so high that moving truck companies are being forced to find other forms of fuel., not to mention the push to make moving truck more “green”. So far over 400 moving trucks have been destroyed by companies sticking corn in the gas tanks.
2. There is still only one radio station that comes in at 2:30 AM while driving down the highway in Alabama. And the only song that is played is over and over again is, “Sweet Home Alabama”. More suicides I mean ‘accidents’ happen to moving truck drivers during that time in Alabama for some strange reason.
And finally… # 1…. Hertz, Enterprise trucks, Ryder, Penske, Enterprise rent-a-car, and Starving student movers have all decided to merge creating a new truck company. Can you guess the name? H.E.R.P.E.S. Movers. And their new slogan? Well, it’s “H.E.R.P.E.S. Movers: For those couples who are just itching to move, we promise you a bumpy ride”.

Under Cheap Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Companies+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental
Moving truck companies. huh! I can’t tell you how many times people ask me, “what moving truck company should I use?” Nine times out of ten they are looking for a cheap moving truck that’ll get them from point A to point B. None of that fancy stuff that some of the ‘big named’ moving truck companies provide.
So here’s the deal…
Because I try to provide the latest and greated up-to-date information about cheap moving trucks, I sadly have to take a stand. And where am I standing? In the middle, of course. Now don’t get me wront, I do have my favorites. And I’m sure I could feel comfortable telling you who I think the best moving truck company is. But, being that my job, if you want to call it that is to report the news and latest tips on renting a moving truck, I’m stuck.
I could ramble on and on and tell you how much I love Budget truck rentals. Or Penske trucks are the best. Or I could say that a u-haul is the best moving truck in the world and you want to know something?
It’s not going to matter.
Why?
Because 99% of the time people will go with the cheapest moving truck they can find. And who could blame them? I mean with the gas prices where they are now, gas for a cross-country move would create quite a hole in the average person’s pocket. So many are going with the cheap moving trucks. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Under Penske Moving Truck+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental
We recently moved again within Houston, Texas and decided to use a cheap moving truck to move. Since the move was somewhat local (within 15 miles), we decided to get the moving truck and hire some people to do all of the work.
They took the cardboard boxes, loaded up the moving truck, and off we went!
As you can imagine, there are a TON of choices for cheap moving trucks in Houston, Texas. So which truck did we go with this time? Was it Budget Moving Trucks? Nope! How about Penske Moving Trucks? Nope! Ryder? No. U-Haul moving truck? Try again! It was Hertz this time actually.
And as I’ve mentioned before, stop by your local post office and pick up a moving kit because you’ll find some great moving truck company coupons and also coupons for cardboard boxes and moving supplies.

Under Ryder Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Companies+ Moving Trucks
Ryder Moving Trucks are available in many areas and in several different countries. Ryder is found in the US, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Ryder offers several types of moving trucks and Ryder moving vans to help you move your home or business.
As of this writing, Ryder moving trucks is offering a 15% discount when you reserve your moving truck. Not a bad deal because 15% can be a nice chunk of change off the price for a big move!
I did some looking around on their site and found out that Ryder has a ton of locations and many moving trucks available. In fact, they have many, many moving trucks available:
Types of Ryder Moving Trucks
1. Panel Van
2. Parcel Van
3. City Van
4. Straight Truck
5. Stake Truck
6. Refrigerated Truck
7. Tractor Rentals
8. Single Axle
9. Tandem Axle
10.Tandem Axle Sleeper
11.Trailers
12. Dry Trailer
13. Flatbed Trailer
14. Refrigerated Trailer
For moving your household items, I would suggest a Ryder Straight Truck. It is a diesel engine and the Ryder truck is your best choice in this fleet if the total weight of your furniture and other items is less than 26,000 pounds.
As far as Ryder truck locations - they are literally all over the place - and odds are there is a Ryder truck rental location near you. I have not personally used them, so I do not know how Ryder is on their pricing.

Under Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental Deals+ Moving Truck Rental
The best deals on moving trucks can be found online, in the newspaper, the yellow pages, and on the internet. When searching for the best deal on a moving truck, be sure to grab a pen, a phone, and start dialing moving truck companies to find out their prices.
You can find moving truck coupons in many newspapers and you can find some great deals on moving trucks on the internet. Make sure you know the size of truck that you need, if you need a trailor, and don’t forget about supplies.
I know when I was searching for the best deals on mmoving trucks, I also made sure that they sold boxes and tape. Just about every single time I moved, I didn’t buy enough moving boxes. So load up on more than you need because most moving truck companies will buy back any unused boxes.
And don’t forget: Just because you find a good deal on a moving truck, it doesn’t mean that you are getting a nice truck that has a radio, A/C, heat, etc. Sometimes it’s worth paying a little more knowing that you won’t break down in the middle of nowhere.

Under Moving Truck Companies+ Self Moving Truck Rental+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental
Trying to find a cheap self moving truck rental? Moving truck rental companies offer many different types of moving trucks and moving vans.
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, it’s a good idea to stop by your local post office to pick up a moving and change of address package. I’ve had luck finding coupons for self moving truck rental companies.
A few things to keep in mind when renting a self moving truck:
1. Do your homework: Make sure that the moving truck company that you are renting from has safe trucks
2. Research: You can find cheap moving truck companies and expensive ones. Give them a call and find out the price of a self moving truck rental.
3. Tell them what you need: If you need to rent a trailor to haul your car or truck behind your moving truck, make sure that you ask if they have any trailors available. I used a Penske moving truck in the past and rented a trailor from the same location.
4. Give yourself more time: Moving takes more time than you usually plan on. So add a day or two as a buffer to make sure you are not running around or speeding down the highway.
Have a fun and safe move!

Under Storage+ Moving Truck Companies+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental Deals
One little tip that just came to mind has to do with storage. Our last move was crazy. We had storage units in 2 states over 2,000 miles apart from each other. One was heater and the other had a/c as they were in two totally different climates.
Everything was stored for a year and we learned an important lesson. Make sure if you rent a storage unit in a climate that is hot and humid - even though it has a/c, make sure you buy a TON of those buckets that suck the humidity out of the air. We didn’t have enough of them and some of the furniture that had wood had mold on it.
Not good! So make sure you load up on those things. You can usually buy them at Home Depot or any long-term storage building.

Under Moving Truck Companies+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental
Moving trucks come in all shapes and sizes and you’ll want to make sure that you are careful when selecting a moving truck company.
There are many deals out there and as I mentioned before, you can find some great deals and coupons for moving truck companies by going to your post office and picking up a change of address kit.
You’ll also find coupons for boxes and other moving supplies that can save you a lot of money upfront.
Also make sure the truck you get is in good shape, has working a/c, heat, comfortable seats, and a radio that works. I’ve driven trucks that were brand new all the way to one that had seats so bad that the springs were coming out and would stab me in the butt with every bump! Now that is ugly!
You know… I’ve moved so many times it’s crazy. I’ve gone through most of the moving truck companies and I’ve hired local movers to move everything for me. The best decision I made was to hire a moving company for me when I moved cross-country. That saved me a lot of stress and money in the long-term.
We were able to drive the 2000+ miles and take in some sights without having to worry about driving a moving truck around tight corners. We did a lot of things that just wouldn’t be possible if you’re driving a moving truck like: visited friends, drove around New Orelans to see the damage from the hurricane, checked out countless small towns, and was able to find parking spaces.
Believe me, if you are driving around a small town in a moving truck, it’s not easy to find a parking space - especially if you are towing a car!
So consider hiring a moving company that will move all of your packed boxes into their truck and unload it for you. Not onl will it save you time and money… but it’ll also save your back!

Under Hertz Moving Company+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental+ Hertz Moving Truck Rental
Hertz Moving Company offers a few different choices for your moving truck rental. Hertz offers a 15 foot moving truck, a 20 foot truck, and a 24 foot truck.
One of the things that I learned is to make sure that you get a truck that will have a little more room than you may need. Getting a moving truck from Hertz Moving Company that is too small can cost you a lot more in the long run if you need to make multiple trips. Ask me how I know that! ha ha!
If you are moving a house or an apartment full of furniture, I would suggest the 24 foot Hertz Moving Truck. You should also be prepared to have your own padding, padlock, boxes, and rope to tie your furniture down.
One important lesson I learned when I got my truck from Hertz Moving Company was that it is VERY important to tie things properly. One time while moving in New Hampshire, I was driving up a reall steep hill. All in a sudden you heard a large CRASH in the back of the truck.
By the time I arrived at my new apartment, I knew I was in for a surprise when I opened the door in the back.
What did I find? EVERYTHING fell over. My TV was smashed, one of my stereo speakers was broken, and several boxes had broken open, including the one that had all of my plates and glasses.
Needless to say I need to go out and buy a new TV, stereo, and glasses and plates. This could have all been avoided if I went out and spent the $5 to get more rope. Nope, I was too lazy and thought it would be OK.
This added a good $500 to my move - BIG lesson learned! Make sure that you buy EXTRA rope so that this doesn’t happen to you when you rent your moving truck from Hertz Rental Company.

The fit what they could in his truck and left the rest in Colorado. So much for finding moving truck rental companies in Colorado! But, I thought this list may help those of you who aren’t so stuck on who you don’t want to use.
