Rental truck loading and unloading
You rent the U-Haul, Penske or Budget truck. Movewise brings the crew to load it, unload it, or both, anywhere in the Triad.
Loading your truck
We plan the load before anything goes on the ramp. Appliances and the heaviest furniture go in first against the front wall, mattresses and tall pieces stand along the sides, and boxes fill the gaps.
The load gets built in tiers from front to back and tied off as we go, so nothing shifts when you brake or take a turn.
Unloading at the new place
We carry everything off the truck and into the room it belongs in. Point at a room and that is where the bed, the couch and the boxes end up.
Pickups, cargo vans and trailers
Not using a box truck? We also load cargo vans, pickup beds and moving trailers. Tell us what you rented when you ask for a price.
Not sure what size truck to rent? Read what size moving truck do I need before you book it.

Both addresses
Or just the towns, if you are still deciding.
Truck company and size
For example, a 15-foot or 20-foot truck.
Size of the move
How many bedrooms, and roughly how full each room is.
Stairs and elevators
At either end. Third-floor walk-ups take longer than a ground-floor unit.
Heavy or awkward items
Sleeper sofas, large dressers, washers and dryers, anything you are worried about.
Your date
And the time you pick up the truck.
Questions
Do you bring the truck?
No. You rent the truck from U-Haul, Penske, Budget or anyone else, and we provide the crew.
Can you just load, or just unload?
Yes. Book the loading end, the unloading end, or both. If both addresses are in our area, the same crew can do both.
Do I need to be there?
Someone should be there to let us in, show us what is going and where it goes, and sign off at the end.
What if my truck is running late?
Call or text us at (336) 602-9750 as soon as you know, and we will work out a new time with you.
