Yes. All TruckAbout movers are experienced professionals trained in safe handling and lifting techniques. We’re also fully insured, so your belongings are protected during transit.

We’ll use floor runners, padding, wraps, and avoid drag/damage through doors or pathways.
Yes, this is exactly the service we offer, which makes us competitive. For a house move, booking the truck and driver option — with you providing extra hands to load and unload — will give you the best price possible. Or, you can request a second person and sit back while the professionals do it for you.

Yes, there’s a minimum hire time to cover travel and setup costs. This varies by location but usually starts from one to two hours. We’ll confirm the exact minimum when you request a quote.

We recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially during weekends or end-of-month periods when demand is high. However, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day moves depending on truck availability.
