5 Essentials to moving yourself

1.   Rent a truck.
Renting a truck can be a great way to save money. It's good to shop around and make sure you find the best deal you can because rates can vary based on location and availability. 

2.  Utilize volunteers to help you move.
Family and friends can be a great resource for a move. Borrowed vehicles such as pickups, SUVs, and trailers can be a great way to move yourself. Just remember volunteers aren't paid professionals so give them clear direction.

3.  Hire movers for the heavy items.
This tip is only practical on short distance moves.  Even though you are moving yourself it can be a great option to use a local moving company to move your larger items. If you only have them move the heavier items it can help you avoid costly damage to your furniture.

4.  Hybrid moving options.
Hybrid options include hiring companies that deliver a trailer or a moving container directly to your home, but they don't provide labor. In such cases you may want to hire a local moving company to help you load. Check out these web sites to help you line up help to load or unload anywhere in the U.S. http://www.movinghelper.com
