Your Moving Truck & You

I have gotten several sales calls asking if their items will stay on the same truck with the same driver. This is actuly a very intresting question because the answer is defined by the sercumstances of the move.

The things that can cause your items to be moved to a different trailer after pick up are usally due to size and were it is being delivered. Most large companies will try to get you your items as soon as possible, the moving companies that work as agents for the larger companies do this as well. So at times they will have different agents take your shipment if that agent has a driver going in that direction if it works out better for you.

Sometimes a Driver will just be dropping off a trailer and be heading back the route that your items would need to go. This way they get the items delivered and their driver were they are needed.

If your items fill a trailor you will generaly have the best shot at getting the same driver and trailer that packed you up. If your home needs more then one trailer you will get a combination of the two scenarios.

Overall the moving companies are trying to get you your items as soon as they are able. With the economy and entering the slower winter season you should prepare for a different driver making the delivery.
