Moving with a Portable Storage Unit - a Smart Alternative
Moving
yourself leaves you with a lot of option. Its hard to make a choice
when there are so many choices and opinions - feels like you are sinking
in uselessness. Lets try to make sense out of portable storage
containers, portable storage units, Relocubes and how they work with
moving long distance.
For starters, there are many companies that move portable containers across statelines for you. They pick-up and drop-off your stuff, door to door - so some say. So the idea of a small durable closet being put right outside your house for you to load comes into mind when talking to sales rep on the phone. Sounds easy, feels good, but truth is, some can't deliver it as close as they would like to get the customer to believe.
Sure, the boxes themselves maybe able to fit in the spot you are asking them to drop it off - but some companies can't deliver due to the bulkiness of their truck. ABF addressed the issue with their loader.

Close to the 50 Yard Line - No Goal for Moving Day
You
can read so many disappointing stories of people receiving their
portable storage units and finding out, on moving day, that the trucker
has to park the frieghtliner "around the corner" because it would not
fit through the streets or the low clearance (trees etc). It may be just
around the corner for a person who drives trucks state to state, but
for someone about to carry boxes, furniture and all they own from their
house 50 yards is a big deal.
ABF trucks fit the portable storage containers and a handy loader just in case something needs to be carried the extra mile for the customer. Also, their lightweight Relocube boxes cost less for the trucker to transport compared to all steel heavyweight ones (See Packrat).
