Can you store your stuff at a UPack storage facility at destination for a few months? Is that expensive? Can it stay in the trailer if you fill one up?
Does anybody know the dimensions of the holes in the metal side beams on the walls (where the bulkhead hooks in)? Need to know this in order to decide if typical 2in flat hooks of ratchet straps can fit to secure the load.
How are these trailers moved across country ? Are they loaded on trains ? Because I cant see how they would know how much weight is in the trailer before trying to move it on the highway with all the truck scales . Also will they drop the trailer in your driveway ?
Your quote includes up to three business days to load your belongings (not counting weekends, so you could take delivery on a Friday and keep the trailer until the following Wednesday), and another three business days to unload at your destination. Let us know how we can help with your move!
I have to point out that the bulkhead we had on our upack trailer did not look or work like this at all. It was 2 heavy plastic sheets that had overlapping tabs. You had to use the straps they provided to install it. No way near as easy as this video makes it out to be.
I just learned they sub-out to Moving Staffers, pretty competitive rates. (For me, my quote was "2 helpers for 2 hrs ($335). 2hrs minimum, each hr after $80/hr"
So they're happy to provide a ramp but you need to keep a giant space free on the floor of the trailer to store it? Seems like you're paying to store the ramp either way.
M Keating - You only pay for the space you use behind the bulkhead. Any space left in the trailer after you’ve installed the bulkhead isn’t billable... this includes the space for the ramp.
@@laura.redfield Also, I was told to let them know when I finish loading to call them to pick up also let them know to send an extra truck to pick up the ramp seperate from my full trailer.
david fulps - Good to know. I’ve only seen info about using part of a trailer. Regardless, you’re only billed for the space you use and not for the space taken up by the ramp. In your case, it sounds like that was the whole trailer so other arrangements had to be made by the company for the ramp.
My trailer was terrible. Dirty and the ramp didn't work and those doors were tied with ridiculous bulkhead ties that our movers couldn't even budge. They have been complaining while loading like we were the bad guys. Wouldn't use U-pack again.
ABF IS AWESOME!!! I had a small issue and they delivered a new bulkhead fast,the drivers are super friendly and helpful.
Outstanding video! This answered a specific question that I had about the side rails. Thank you!
So, where does the ramp go when you have a full trailer? I'm expecting to use the entire trailer.
You r explanation for us older women, it’s a great display for us! Thankyou❤
Hi buddy,
You mentioned some killer tips for reducing the moving cost in a Trailer. Thanks for sharing

They allow you to nail into the trailer?

Yes they park in your driveway, and they are hauled by semi truck, household goods usually never meet the overweight ratings on a trailer.
How long do you have to get everything moved into the trailer and are you charged for that time?

Excellent video; great spokesperson.
Thank you so much for the detailed video!!
What kind of lock does 1 use to lock the back of the truck?
Do you guys have weight limit or just how much space you use ?
I doubt typical household goods would get anywhere near the weight limit for those trailers.

Love ABF!!!
How much is a linear foot
One foot of floor space across the width and height of the trailer

Rossi Moreale looks and sounds like Nick Lachey.
