Moving Company Services

Moving companies often offer services that are less involved and expensive than full service moving. Most companies derive most of their income from truck and and equipment services. Other companies provide drivers and delivery service, simply letting the customer perform the actual packing.

Many full service moving companies require a minimum hour to guarantee their return on investment, while other prefer to use a fabled one-hour minimum charge or a deposit for the same purpose. The use of truck rental services, or simply borrowing similar hardware, is referred to as DIY.

These moving company services are often considerably less expensive than full service moving. The key difference is that much of the liability for damage falls on the customer when they utilize these services. The carrier is generally only liable for damage resulting from traffic accidents or other damage that occurs to the trailer after they recover it.
