If you're planning a big move you may be overwhelmed with options - and with prices. An option that is becoming more popular today is to do all your packing and loading yourself, but then you let a company drive your possessions to your destination.

This is an attractive option for some because you're able to get a good price. The company driving the moving truck only gets it from "point A to point B." You invest the sweat equity of doing your packing and doing the loading.

The companies that offer this service are often general shipping companies. You reserve one of their trailers or space on one of their trailers and then they take your possessions along their normal shipping routes from one terminal to another. This results in significant cost savings over a full service moving company.

You need to do some planning ahead of time. First you need to pick what company you're going to be moving with. You should plan to give several week's notice, so research companies as soon as you know your move date. Be careful that you pick a reputable moving company.

Two companies with good reputation are ABF U-Pack Moving Service and Broadway Express. My family did a 1,000 mile interstate move with ABF and we were extremely pleased with their price and their service, so I recommend them. I recommend you research on your own and also read consumer reviews online. You'll find great reviews on MovingScam.com - check their forums.

Once you've picked the company, it's time to call to and book your truck. Do go down to your local Post Office and pick up a moving packet first. They often contain a coupon for the "you pack, we drive" companies. Give the company a call (remember to mention your coupon code!) and arrange to have the trailer dropped off at your home on your moving day.

Some people prefer to load their trailer at the company's terminal. If you want to do this, you can take your things to your trailer in the back of a pickup truck, or you can rent an "across town" moving van for the afternoon and shuttle your things over.

Regardless of where you're going to be loading your trailer, the next thing you need to do is to start packing! Packaging is very important and good packing will go a long way towards keeping your possessions safe. Use smaller boxes if possible - more boxes with less things inside. This keeps boxes from getting too heavy and provides more protection for your things.

You can get smaller, free boxes by asking local liquor stores what days they get shipments and if you can have the extra boxes. If you want uniformly sized boxes for easier loading, you can buy boxes at a moving store like UHaul or order from a number of moving box suppliers online.

Do get proper packaging materials for your breakables. Be generous with bubble wrap, newsprint, and other forms of padding. Investing in a dish pack for your dishes will really pay off. Shrink wrap, which you can buy at any hardware store, is really handy for packing.

The cost of good packing materials will only take a fraction of your savings by doing your own packing and loading, so don't hold back here.

There are two things you may need to buy before you load the truck - the first is a tarp. Lay this down on the floor of your truck. Because your items will be going on a freight truck, it's possible that the floor may have residue on it. Mine didn't, but we still laid the tarp down. You'll probably also want a tarp to put over your boxes and possessions once you have them all loaded (unless you're using the entire trailer) because other goods will be loaded on, too.

Some ratcheting straps or a lot of nylon rope are the next thing you need. There will be anchor strips running along the walls of your trailer and it's a good idea to use the ratchet straps or rope to help anchor your things in place.

Pack the truck securely and evenly. You'll purchase truck space by the foot (we used 10 feet of space in our trailer). Pack so that your things fill the space evenly, then secure with rope or ratcheting strap. The it's time to close the truck up and call the company to let them know they can pick up the trailer.

You can track the progress of your trailer across the country via your computer. When the trailer has arrived at its destination terminal, the company will let you know and you can arrange to have it dropped off at your new home. Unload, and let the company know you're done. Now it's time to unpack everything!

We had a good experience with packing and loading ourselves, then letting someone else drive. It gave us the luxury of bringing the family in the van without worrying about having one of us driving the van and the other driving a moving truck. It also saved us a lot of money to pack ourselves. You put in a lot of work with the packing, but if you need a low-cost move and still want a professional driver, it's a great idea. Plus, you don't have to pay for the cost of gas in the truck!

Jef Van Campen Presents Project 187

BELGIUM, ANTWERP - March 31st 2010 - From Friday April 2nd till Sunday May 30th 2010, art painter Jef Van Campen will exhibit his new work at Galerie Van Campen & Rochtus (Verschansingstraat 52, 2000 Antwerpen-Zuid). This new work does not only include his well known paintings, but also a new art object, painted Bolders (bollards).

Official opening of the exhibition is on April 1st, 2010 at 19:00 hr.

Bolders or bollards are the typical vertical posts you see on a quay for mooring. Jef Van Campen found in this typical form a new challenge and maritime inspiration for his talent. Jef had replica's made in fiberglass/plastic in the same size as the original (height 61cm, width at the bottom 35cm and width at the top 56cm). He then painted them in his workshop on his own well known artistic fashion.

 

The replica's were made from bolder (bollard) number 187 at the quay of the old part of the Port of Antwerp, hence the name "Project 187".

Jef Van Campen (born February 6, 1934, Antwerp) is a Belgian post-impressionistic art painter. He is mostly known for his maritime paintings.

Jef Van Campen is most known for his maritime paintings (impressions of rivers, sea and of ships in the Antwerp harbour). His work also contains portraits and still life.

Jef Van Campen rewards the viewer with a nearly abstract/expressionist use of color and he paints with the spontaneity of his experience. Using impressionistic techniques and  expressive symbols, he conveys substance and atmosphere with the minimal means that have become his trademark.

About the Author

I have a Chevy 2500 Express Van and the light on the dash keeps coming on and says "SECURITY,"?

I get in and drive and it has been not restarting after I turn it off. Most of the time when I let it sit sometimes several hours, it will restart. I need to know because I have been stranded several times recently...
Does the security light have anything to do with whats going on?
Thanks for everyone out there...

Take it in. In my case they had to replace the key switch to get it to behave. Do it sooner rather than later or you will have the expense of a tow also.
