    I did moving for a bit with a regular bunk truck. Usually I go to the moving company’s warehouse. Get loaded by 2-4 guys, takes a few hours. I always get 2-4 households worth in the trailer. Drive to the destination, usually a storage locker or a parking lot such as a church. Moving company hires 2-4 guys from the city you deliver to, they usually have 1-2 uhaul or Penske box trucks. They back it up to my 53 dry van and unload, 1 house per box truck or storage locker.
