In order to save money and because the journey is not that far away, you decided to hire a moving truck instead of employing the services of removal companies but this begs the question: how do you load your cargo into the truck? The idea is to maximise space and also to protect your belongings. Unlike hiring moving companies, you don't have the luxury of insurance with moving truck rental so you want to make sure your appliances or items arrive in one piece.

Although it's not a hard rule, the typical practice of moving companies is to load the heaviest goods first. So your refrigerator, washing machine and dryer, television set go inside the truck first, closest to the cab to limit the shaking. How do you define heavy? Heavy is when it takes two or more persons to carry the item. Balancing the truck is key to avoiding accidents. Don't load the items to one side of the truck because you are putting yourself in a bad position when you turn on a sharp curve. Use bubble wraps or some padding to protect your appliances and your furniture, particularly the wooden ones with sharp edges. You can ask the owner of the budget moving truck to rent the padding.

After the heavy stuff, the next that you load are the "long" items. These include your bed, mattresses, sofas, dining tables, or mirrors. Put these alongside the longest portion of the moving truck rental. You can also maximise the use of your mattress by utilising it as some sort of padding for breakable items such as your tabletop for example. The carpet can be rolled tight and placed on the floor. Also in order to save space, you can disassemble furniture frames and just tape them together so you won't lose any piece during unpacking.
