    There’s United Agents, errr Unigroup I guess, that hires company drivers in Ohio and Michigan area but I don’t guess they’re doing the same as they Van Operators themselves. I spent some time with a United Agent in a nondriving capacity and was tempted to do it. There were some VERY successful Van Operators I got to know. Times have changed I believe. This was in the mid 90’s and I was in a city that had a major university, major corporations present and was a state capital. Some of those Van Operators would just shut down late November till late February and still made a ton of dough. Tough work though. No fat ones.

    Many people in CA are going to New Mexico to rent a U-Haul then return it to New Mexico. Save thousands by doing this.

    Read that Leonardo DiCaprio paid $16,000.00 for movers to put a piano in his upper floor condo in NYC.
    Had to get permits to block the street and a crane to lift it to his floor.
    Pocket change to him though.

    One of my neighbors rented a truck in Chicago to move to Las Vegas.
    He unloaded his household goods in Las Vegas, then drove the empty truck back to Chicago, turned it in, then got in his car and drove back to Las Vegas. Told me he saved a ton of money by doing that.

    Apparently bedbugs are all over west Texas. It could be true. But I've stayed in a few questionable motels, several trucks, and a few other places... I've never seen a bed bug yet. Never did wake up with the ichys.

    I hear it looks like rust on a mattress.

    So why do they have the big bunks, is it to fit in their helpers too? And how do they maneuver those rigs into the residential driveways etc. Always been curious..

    The big bunks are for living like a human being lol driving g a.big bunk truck is no different then a regular.truck. yes you do make wider turns sometimes but you learn the truck. Oh and we don't go I to driveways normally we park on the street if we can't get close we shuttle it and the help does not ride with us they are usually labor from a local agent
