When you have to relocate, there are minute details to take care of, but each moving project will be unique to your situation. One such move is partial load, which is done by small movers. If you are temporarily relocating, you may need this type of service. You may not want to bring all your belongings or you may have put some in storage. It could be that you are downsizing and had a garage sale, but have to move the main items to your new location. The scenarios can be different for each person. No matter what the situation, you may have to move a partial load using one of the small movers in your city.

I have organized a partial move for next month, but I will only be able to get there a week later. I don't have anyone to check in the new flat, is it possible to get partial storage and what does it include? Link | ReplyAshley Richmond 1 year, 8 months ago
Hi Tracey. Many movers are able to keep your things in their storage for a monthly fee until the day you are able to move your things into your new flat. Check with movers around your area to see if they offer a storage service as they are the movers that are best for your situation. Link | ReplyCorey Russel 1 year, 7 months ago
Im moving from my studio apartment into a two bedroom house soon. Would it be better for me to get a small moving company or go with one of the larger, full service guys? Im pretty much moving across town, I'd say no more than 15 miles or so. Considering the size of the place i'm in now, what do you think would be cheaper for me to do?

Hi Corey, I think the smaller moving company will suffice for your needs. The full service moving companies are more for people moving from home to home. There shouldn't be too much in your apartment for a mover to move. Choosing the smaller moving company will save you money compared to hiring the larger mover. However, the larger mover may be able to get your move done in a quicker time so keep that in mind if you want a faster move. Link | ReplyBobby Wilson 1 year, 3 months ago
Is a DOT number required if you are starting out as a small mover? I started helping moving local residents with my truck and I'm thinking of starting a legitimate business. Right now, I don't have a DOT number but I am willing to get one if it means I can start moving people further away. At the moment, I've moved friends and local neighbors but haven't moved any goods that are too large or too far. I want to continue to move people but I also want to make sure I'm following the laws regarding movers. Link | ReplyAshley Richmond 1 year, 3 months ago
Hey Bobby, if you are planning to start a business as a legitimate moving company, I highly recommend that you get your USDOT number. You are going to need it to start moving customers that are moving far away from their current location. Sooner or later, you are going to be using a large truck instead of a regular pickup truck which will be inspected by DOT officers on the road from time to time. To get your DOT number you must first purchase membership of an arbitration program which is something that we sell. Proof of arbitration is one of the things you need to actually get your DOT number. Link | ReplyNew Comment
