Size Does Matter - Don't Listen To Them

July 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Size does matter according to Barbara Flores, Sales Manager at Low Cost Movers in Chicago, Illinois.  The size of the truck that is.  You see, many small scale movers will have only one Truck. They do so because its cheaper to operate one truck than it is to have a variety of vehicles to chose from.
                     
Barbara says that it is the customer who gets short changed when the mover shows up with too small of a truck.  When that happens, the mover needs to make multiple trips in order to get everything moved.  Those multiple trips are usually time consuming and expensive.  According to Barbara Flores, depending on the number of trips that need to be made, you the customer could find yourself paying as much as double.

To avoid getting burned by a mover without an adequate fleet, Barbara suggests that the customer insists upon the right size truck for their move.  In her experience, Barbara suggests the following minimum truck sizes:

Studio to One Bedroom = 16 foot truck

Two Bedroom Apt = 20 foot truck

Three Bedroom Apt = 22 foot truck

Three Bedroom Home = 24 foot truck

Four Bedroom Home = 26 foot truck

According to Barbara, any mover can get any size truck necessary to handle your move properly, even if he has to rent or lease it.  It just costs money to get the right truck if the mover doesn’t already own it.  Either the mover pays more for the right truck or you the customer pay more because of the wrong size truck. Barbara suggests that you also get your mover to agree that if his truck is not large enough to handle your move in one trip, that the mover will eat the cost of the labor and fuel involved in driving back and forth with a too small truck.
