Recent HireAHelper Customer Move Costs & Reviews
We used a 26 foot Uhaul truck. It worked great and was easy to drive as I have almost no experience driving a large moving truck. My only small complaint is the fuel gauge was only at 3/8ths full when I picked up the truck, so we had to get gas on drive to our new residence which was right over 100 miles away.
The truck was clean and comfortable. The car transport trailer worked very well for a one way move of 450 miles. U-Haul accommodated my rush requests when PODS called at delivery time to let me know they were unable to deliver but would bring a pod to me 1 week late. My only complaint was the length of time it took for paperwork and that the headlights on new truck do not strike high enough to read street signs at night.
First time using a pod - it was a little tricky making sure they had plenty of space to pickup/dropoff the pod, but worked out. Pod was dirty upon arrival so I had to sweep it out before loading anything. The driver was very nice on dropoff and pickup but was supposed to give hour notice before arrival on both occasions and didn't on pickup - thank goodness I was ready. I had a lot of moving pieces with my cross-country move and just needed something affordable and quick. Not thrilled I will be taking 2 days to drive to new place but the pod won't deliver for 10 days doing the same drive. Nervous my stuff is going to get moved around/damaged a bit so hopefully the movers packed everything extra secure!
