Professional U-Haul Driver: Long Distance Moving Made Easy

Skilled U-Haul Drivers at Your Service

Moving Truck Driver was created to alleviate some of the stress that occurs while moving so that you can enjoy the exciting journey of moving to your new home. However, far away that home may be. We know becoming your own U-Haul driver during your next move can be a stressful experience for all of us. With so much to do and endless logistics to coordinate, moving your life can be chaotic. Simply moving your belongings nationwide shouldn't be.

 

To further support our goal to alleviate the stress of your move, we work on your schedule. Not the other way around. And unfortunately hiring a mover can come at the expense of your control over the agenda. It’s common to need to schedule your move around your mover's agenda. From when your move starts to when your possessions arrive at their destination.

 

At Moving Truck Driver, we operate around what you need. Your time, experience, and belongings are our top priorities. We pride ourselves on swiftly transporting your belongings to your new home, typically within hours or days, rather than the weeks you may have experienced in the past. Our U-Haul drivers are some of the most respected professionals in the industry, ensuring the safety and efficiency of your move.

 

With Moving Truck Driver as your partner, rest assured that your belongings are in safe hands. Our experienced professional U-Haul drivers handle all the driving, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your move.

 

Renting a U-Haul with a driver can often be a significant source of stress associated with moving, and understandably so. Maneuvering a large moving vehicle without consistent experience with various vehicle types and towing can indeed be a difficult task.

 

Beyond actually driving a moving truck yourself, navigating in a new city and state comes with many unexpected challenges. Especially for individuals who haven’t experienced moving as a regular part of their lives. It is ours because we have hands-on experience with some of the largest of moving trucks. For example,  the U-Haul 26-foot truck that has the capacity to hold a 5 bedroom home. Not only can we confidently drive U-Haul's of all sizes, but we can do so with your vehicle being towed behind as we move across the country. Driving a U-Haul with a car trailer is simple what we do.

 

No matter where you rent your moving truck, the size of the truck you require, or if additional moving supplies are needed, we have you covered. Our dedicated professionals, boasting unmatched experience, are equipped to handle all aspects of your move. We ensure that your cherished belongings arrive safely at your new home, adhering to your schedule and priorities.

 

By prioritizing our clients in every move, we've garnered a reputation as one of the nation's top long-distance U-Haul drivers. Entrust us with your move and treat yourself to a stress-free experience. We specialize in driving U-Hauls of all sizes, as well as Penske, Ryder, and Budget trucks, for long-distance moves across the country.

11 Tips For When You Are Driving a U-Haul

We recognize the difficulty in choosing between employing a driver or operating a U-Haul across the country on your own. To assist in making an educated choice, we've assembled a list of 11 vital tips for anyone contemplating operating a U-Haul on such a lengthy trip. These suggestions encompass everything from fuel management to route planning, providing crucial insights and strategies for a fluid voyage. Each tip addresses common hurdles you might encounter, presenting logical solutions and proactive measures to bypass them. As you prepare to journey across the nation's highways, view these tips as your manual to a safer, more efficient, and more pleasant moving experience.

Suggestions for Driving a U-Haul

  1. Fuel Management is Crucial: A quarter tank of gas doesn't mean a quarter of the journey remains. On a full tank, a heavily loaded U-Haul typically travels 250 miles. However, when the fuel gauge hits 1/4, it's wise to fill up immediately to avoid running dry unexpectedly.
  2. Eye Comfort is Key: Lengthy drives can strain your eyes. Eye drops sold in pharmacies can keep your eyes moist and alert. We suggest applying a few drops each time you stop for gas.
  3. Cabin Space Planning: Don't consider fitting more than two people in the truck's cabin for a comfortable journey. The limited space makes accommodating more individuals impractical, potentially prolonging your trip.
  4. Windshield Maintenance: Some regions are notorious for bugs, especially at night. Clean your windshield at every fuel stop to maintain clear visibility.
  5. Safety Over Swerving: Avoid sudden maneuvers for small animals. Large, heavy vehicles like U-Hauls can become unstable, risking an overturn or loss of control.
  6. Reversing Challenges: Reversing is notably difficult, with the absence of a rearview mirror and deceptive vehicle length. If towing another vehicle, the challenge increases due to the pivot point. Hiring experienced help for this part of the drive is advisable.
  7. Tow Strap Vigilance: Check your tow straps regularly, especially after long stretches or in bad weather, as they can loosen.
  8. Weather Considerations: Route planning should include weather checks. Avoid driving a heavy vehicle in adverse conditions like rain, snow, or high winds.
  9. Avoid Urban Driving: Navigating city streets in a large truck can be challenging, and many times its best to drive the highway loops around cities instead.
  10. GPS Navigation for Trucks: Regular GPS might not account for truck restrictions on certain roads. Use a truck-specific GPS to avoid legal issues or impassable routes.
  11. Prioritize Rest: Long-distance driving demands alertness. Ensure you rest adequately, taking breaks to sleep in safe locations. Fatigue can impair reaction times and decision-making, making rest as crucial as any logistical preparation.

By adhering to these recommendations, you can face the vast journey with confidence, knowing you're prepared for the road ahead. Whether you decide to drive yourself or hire a professional, planning and preparation are your keys to a successful and stress-free move.
