SelfMover

Things to Think about!

In order to pull off your own self move, you will need two essential things: "people power" and hauling capacity. Whether you enlist the services of your friends and borrowed vehicles or hire local help and rent a truck to do the job, you will not only need a lot of muscle but also the right hauling capacity. If you lack either of these, it's best not to self move.

Is Moving Yourself Cheaper?

Consider whether moving yourself is actually cheaper. If you are making a long distance move, you will need to calculate the cost of travel: gas, tolls, meals, lodging, and so on. Add in the costs of renting a truck large enough to handle all your belongings, insuring valuable possessions, hiring additional help, and even the cost of pizza at the post-move party. And don’t forget to properly value your time and efforts in driving that rental truck every mile to your new destination.

Finally, get some estimates from professional moving companies and compare the costs with a self-move. If a professional move will cost you more money, ask yourself if it's still worth the decrease in stress and hassle. In the end, you might find it's easier and more worthwhile to hire professionals. But if you decide it makes sense to take on a self-move, the next step is to examine the details.

Other Considerations

First of all you must protect yourself. If you have any physical conditions, then a self-move is definitely not the way to go. Back injuries, pulled muscles, leg strain, and other hurts can happen easily if you don’t lift properly. If you have small children, you may incur childcare expenses during the move process. If you have pets you will need to plan accordingly before hand as a move can be stressful on pets as well.
