Movers Who Drive for You

Movers Who Drive for YouTo save money on their relocation, people often opt for do-it-yourself moves. This entails renting a moving truck that they load and unload themselves. As for the driving? That’s where the challenge comes in. Driving a large rental truck, whether it’s across town or across the state, can be stressful, and the average person has limited experience doing it. What’s more, some people find large trucks difficult to operate, which makes safety a legitimate concern.

Fortunately, there are moving companies that offer professional driving services. Their drivers are well-trained and experienced at operating large trucks, including knowing how to navigate specific routes, as well as how to avoid low bridges, power lines, and other potential hazards. Furthermore, drivers are fully insured and have a safe driving record. You should know, however, that some companies offer driving services for local moves only, so it’s best to clarify upfront whether this is the case with your prospective mover.

Typically, companies that offer driving services require:

  • Customers to purchase liability and physical damage coverage from the truck rental company
  • The moving company’s driver to be added to the contract as an additional driver

Many people who utilize driving services follow their rental truck during transit to their new home destination, partly out of nervousness. But using a driving service is usually a straightforward process with clear benefits such as:

  • Convenient door-to-door pickup and delivery
  • Improved safety
  • Reduced stress
