Moving Company Life

This thing. This thing is the only thing in HHG worse than packing collectible ceramic angel figurines. I would rather take a baby grand up steps than have to fill this out, any day.

It has such a deceptively simple appearance, too.

 

I asked my manager today about how to inventory faster. He said that with time I'll be able to glance at furniture and write it down.

I believe that to some extent, but it also makes me suspicious that most drivers are probably just cutting corners and making stuff up.

Seems to me that GoPro footage would be more exact, thorough, and 10x as fast. I don't make the rules, though. I just get in the trucks.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll begin to load 22,000 so hopefully I'll be able to get some good photos to share more of what bedbugging is all about.

22k may not sound like much weight if you're in the general freight world but in HHG that is generally considered a full truck.

 

This truck is as terrible as it is ugly! Company driver woes.

Single axle is nice for residential, just wish it wasn't this one lol.


15 whopping pages of jotting down this alien code. I repeat, worse than packing ceramic angel figurines!

Didn't get around to the actual moving today, but packing and inventory are done now so the real fun kicks off tomorrow.

 

Evolution of first few tiers from today. As you can see most items are here, so this is the easiest part.

 

Some more shots from the 22k load. All this goes into the warehouse for storage, basically my trial run before this agent sends me on interstates.

 

Disclaimer: Furniture wrapping not my work lol.

 

Ah, the satisfying sound of crickets from the "Professional movers don't exist", "Anyone can load a truck", "Your industry is all criminals" crowd at the beginning of this thread.
