"Hello my name is Mitch. When a company does as good a job as this one they deserve a good report. I hired this company to move the contents of my motorcycle dealership. It took four tractor trailers in all. I'm not going to lie, I was reluctant in using a company like this but in the end, I couldn't have chosen a better company. They were very professional to deal with and their services were above par, I would say. Nothing in my transport was damaged. I definitely got my money's worth. I just completely recommend this company all the way around. They are a good quality outfit."

"I recently used STM Moving for a local move, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the initial quote to the final box unloaded, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly careful with my belongings. The movers arrived on time, were friendly and courteous, and worked incredibly hard. They handled fragile items with extra care, and even disassembled a couch and recliner without any issues. They were quick, but never rushed, which I really appreciated. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable moving company, I highly recommend STM Moving.

Midweek days, particularly Tuesdays and Wednesdays, offer lower rental rates due to decreased demand. Weekend rentals often command premium pricing, and truck availability becomes more limited toward the end of the week. Early morning reservations provide better selection options. If your schedule allows for flexibility, planning a midweek move can result in notable savings and improved vehicle availability.
Most consumer rental trucks fall below 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating, meaning a standard driver's license is sufficient in most jurisdictions. However, these vehicles handle quite differently from passenger cars. Before embarking on your journey, familiarize yourself with the truck's dimensions, turning radius, and blind spots. If you're uncomfortable with larger vehicles, consider practicing in an empty parking lot before navigating busy roads.
Moving trucks often cost less than portable storage containers for similar distances, with truck rentals ranging from $1,000 to $3,500 for long-distance moves. Portable containers offer the advantage of not having to drive a large vehicle and allow for flexible loading/unloading schedules, but this convenience comes at a higher price point. If budget is your primary concern and you're comfortable driving larger vehicles, a truck rental will be more economical.
Fuel expenses depend on your travel distance, the truck's fuel efficiency, and current gas prices. Most moving trucks achieve 10 to 20 miles per gallon when loaded. For accurate budgeting, calculate your route's total mileage, divide by the expected MPG, and multiply by the current fuel price in areas you'll be traveling through. Maintaining steady speeds and avoiding aggressive driving can help maximize fuel economy during your journey.
Most rental companies charge an additional day's rate for late returns, which will add to your total cost. Some companies also assess extra mileage charges if you exceed your estimated distance. If delays appear inevitable, contact the rental office promptly to discuss extending your agreement. Early communication may help minimize additional fees and prevent complications with subsequent reservations.
Booking your truck several weeks before your move date secures better rates and ensures availability of your preferred vehicle size. During peak moving season (summer months) or if you require a larger truck, making arrangements further in advance is advisable. Last-minute reservations often cost more and may leave you with limited options, particularly for popular truck sizes. Planning ahead reduces stress and often results in more favorable rental terms.
