First, let me clarify: UniMove.US is 100% independent.  I don't give 33% to a mega-corporation to use their name and network, so I don't overcharge you 33%.  I find my own customers and make my own corporate policy putting people over profit.

 

UniMove is proud to offer a TruckSharing discount of 30-40% to customers who meet two criteria: 1) Your Move Date must be flexible, and 2) You must have less than a truck-full (2-3 BR / 400-1000 cubic feet) of stuff.

​

Instead of two separate clients paying for two separate small trucks, UniMove partners people heading the same direction around the same time. (Customers may need to flex a little on their dates.)  We use ONE 26' truck (and maybe trailer). Still NO off-loads, NO warehouses, NO sub-contractors. Instead of 4 days to deliver your stuff across the country, it will 5.   Clients split all mutual costs - truck, fuel, hotels, per diem, return airfare, tolls, etc.  according to how much space they use and where they are going.  

​​

It's a "Win, Win, Win" for you, the other customer, and ME!...(A little loss for truck rental company).

​​As with everything in life, there are things to consider: 

​

• TruckSharing doesn't work for XL moves. If you need a 26' truck and a trailer, there's no room for anyone else.

​

• Availability and price are affected by when and where you are moving. If you're headed to Alaska, we won't find you a TruckShare partner this week.

​

• Scheduling gets a little tighter.  Two loads and two offloads have to happen within the window of truck rental. If you want the savings of TruckSharing, FLEXIBILITY is paramount.

​

• There is the big problem of under-estimating how much stuff you have. More than 50% of clients underestimate how much stuff they have; some are wildly off.  You will be kept within your reserved space and NOT allowed to encroach into other customer's reserved space.  UniMove requires customers to complete this online Truck Wizard tool which calculates your cubic footage.  The Wizard takes you room-by-room, you click on what you have, and in 5-10 minutes the "Packing List" tells you the cubic footage of your stuff.  Most 2 BR Apartments have about 600-800 cu.ft. of stuff, or about half of a 26' truck (1700 cf).

​​

• Have realistic expectations.  I like a "75% Off Sale" more than most people.  Movers though, don't have the problem of overstock on last year's fashions, and are never so desperate they'll work for less than minimum wage.  If all your other quotes are $3000-$5000, I will probably come in at $2000-$3500, but please don't have me spend an hour writing a proposal, and then say, "My budget is $1000." It's just not realistic.

​

UniMove uses a plywood partition after the first customer is loaded: there is ZERO chance of either customer's items getting off-loaded in the wrong city.

​

There is still too much information to write here. Give me (Bobby) a call and I can explain several other ways UniMove makes TruckSharing a money-saving option for everyone.
