Shush

you probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the new series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother lately :)

@Colby Timothy definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

@Colby Timothy Definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for since december myself =)

not really😂 they had all the right shapes , doesnt happen most of the time , a skilled loader wouldnt make the first mistake of leaving his partner to pad on the truck instead of bringing him padded items already , aswell as they used tape 90% of the time 😂😂😂 TAPE IS OUTDATED, USE RUBBERBANDS!!!!

@@gloobeats9017 Stick to playing fortnite buddy you don’t know what you’re talking about.

@@gloobeats9017 couldn't have said it better bud I'm a private contractor I am loading and unloading tractor trailers damn near everyday shit should be padded already and your supposed to use ever space u cann I woulda gently stuffed shit in the fridge I would of made sure shit was full there are so many different shaped items in a house man u can always make shit work like I was always taught just send it lol I've worked for atlas united mayflower allied rainbow jk moving new generation moving and storage l and m packing man I'm 25 been doing it sense 14 there's not excuse in this line of work do it right or don't do it at all but much love brother y'all take it easy I still learn new shit all the time lol

@Andrew Cleaves I had a stroke trying to read your comment.

That packing is a mess. Items should be wrapped before coming to the truck. Pad and shrink wrap. Boxes together then furniture with help you save space. Good but not the most professional nor safest.

daniel lyman haha

Your point? We're all different humans beings that think differently. We're not all gonna do things the same. Just because you "redid" his work that doesn't make your way better

@@jessevance8162 until you damage your 2 thousand dollar mattresss because you didnt put it in the correct way. Supposed to be against side wall not in the middle

He’s not redoing it. One is doing the leg and carry work whilst the other is sorting out in the van.

​@Jesse Vance Um, there is definitely a right and a wrong way. It's not a matter of opinion to load a truck safely and efficiently. That bring said, @Megatron the cat is also misreading this situation. I'd think at 8 years he'd appreciate the clear division of labor here - one guy is clearing the house, the other guy is packing the truck. There's no redoing here.

Hahaha ...

Yess!! Thank you you're so right man it is an art and therefore becomes personal to us. Which is why we hate when people fuck with our loads!!

The BBQ was a surprise, as an amateur, I usually pack them at the back, one of the last things to go in. I've moved about 20 times in my life, but never professionally moved sand used a moving company on only once.

Changed my whole perspective.

Not just UPS does floor loads, I have delivered hauls of of trailers for TJX COrp. (TJ Maxx, HomeGoods) and they are hand loaded floor to just below ceiling wall to wall and each load separated by colored TAPE. Even seen video of how Dollar General/Store or Family Dollar loads are also loaded similar in fashion.

Good Luck with your move!

You make it happen that way

Everyone’s different some feel comfortable lifting with out wrapping first

The company and Atlas agent I worked for had at least three stacks on each of the two trucks they had and we used, of dirty as they were blankets and many of them going or were ragged. Would use them up until none left often. Would be lucky if the owner actually got new or had many of them washed but still looking like they were over-use and still not clean. Not to mention the ones being used for items in storage units.

Timok67 LoL

"Green plastic wrap stuff, that comes on a roll" "Magic Green Plastic Wrap" good descriptions of Stretch Wrap and comes in more than green when rolled up as its an after effect per manufacturer or supply material used be it virgin or a mix with recycled or purposely colored. Also differing thickness and length. I have used many varieties in my moving experiences with a company and on my own moves along with when I worked in freight shipments for others, it definitely has grip and many good uses. You NEVER leave the legs on a kitchen or even coffee or end tables where they are removable, but when I did pack them I kept them packed along with the table in most cases, or if they can not be packed with the table would be bundled in a blanket or two and used for filler. Definitely if done right and oddly shaped a sofa can be loaded against the fridge or use the fridge to hold it base against the wall, if you have to put the sofa base against the fridge it helps to place a folded blanket between them, also remove the furnishings feet if possible to prevent scratches and keep them with the sofa wrapped up in a bundle with that Magic Plastic Wrap. I never place a packed picture where it will get pressed or damaged somehow, usually use it to fill a space again making sure it will not get crushed.

6 for 10 John. This guy is good labor but he isn't a mover

Maybe for ghetto moves

unless its a vanlines company or similar, most moving trucks are 26' box trucks (hopefully with a attic)

I'm guessing each one of those tracks are either 12 14 or 16 inch on Center and based on that I'm guessing the truck is 24 and 26 ft given that side entrance I'm going to put it in a 24-foot truck which would also mean that they have another 10 of truck where the video ended

Yess thats also true!

+Burte00 They rank right behind king size memory foam mattresses.

+Burte00 And the companies that rent them as one of their main sales pitches say; "The Movers love them". That is as anyone who is a mover know the largest pile of crap there is! There is no replacement for corrugated cardboard boxes in residential moving, period. If you are moving trust me, your movers will love you for NOT USING PLASTIC TOTES! Right Lads?

Especially those 4 ft jobs, loaded with books and garage crap.

Ken from NJ speaking of heavy crap, what is a reasonable weight for a box? I'm trying to be careful to not overload my boxes, but I'm a wussy girl so it's hard for me to judge what that should be.

It all depends on the box and the thickness. Most boxes have a max weight of 60-80lbs. So a 1.5 cubic feet book box will have the same max weight of a 3.0 medium box or a 4.5 large box. These are single wall thickness boxes. Now a Dishpack, which is a double thickness 5.2 cubic feet box has a max weight of 120 lbs. They are designed to hold dishes, hence the name

No such thing as too much stuff

Clean video and I love the arrangements

NorthStar Movers

i disagree. it could cause the employee to slip and drop the piece and break it altogether!

@@sawedoff5745 I don't agree. If its padded correctly and you can't carry it, you shouldn't be moving. Use a hump strap or a dolly if you cant get a good grip

EXACTLY

In most cases yes but it depends on how the team does what they do. If you notice there were a lot of bigger furniture in which they put boxes inside them after loading it onto the truck had they wrapped that same Furniture prior to taking it to the truck especially if they put the boxes inside of it it would have made it much heavy and probably would not have been able to secure them. If they wrap that chair especially like a diaper prior to bringing it out the house they would not have had that extra space under the chair as they do in the video.

Items also become like half an inch thinker when padded doorways r only soo wide

Great way to get those steps in, if you get what I am lightly joking about.

nothing bad about that, just use them for odd space, up high, or use smaller for fillers around it all.

No matter what it is it's either hard or soft it's either going to be on top of something or something is going to be on top of it but if you pad it up right you can fit it all in there some kind of way. We use a whole lot more cardboard than what most mover's would use

Yes then we can see what kind of decking bars and plywood skills they have. We experienced movers always say, boxes load themselves. In other words we try to get furniture and junk tiers in first.

Yeah there's one inventory in my Italian toilet for the so called murikan fundies just like you.

lol, definitely!

I have slid fridges across not so still in good shape floor of a truck and never had any damage to the FEET of the unit what so ever.

If it was the bottom of the item, not a problem.

typical of a self shifter attitude who thinks theres nothing to it watch and maybe learn something and then thinks its cheaper what about your time from work and other expenses involved go for it and hope you enjoy the end result

​@@garyenright6551 I'm moving too. Even with buying the moving blankets, straps, ropes, hand truck, dollies, etc., I'm still saving thousands by using U-pack over a traditional moving company and loading myself. Hiring "professional" movers would cost about $500 for 3 hours. As for Time from work, that's what vacation time is for.

Celena Morgan what a stupid question

Celena Morgan if it's loaded out of storage is it mean it's broke out gone over the inventory checked off by the driver with exception sheet then repadded and loaded. Also a lot of times these are national accounts in the customer doesn't pay for nothing the company they work for does!

Neal Thomas, thank you for responding with helpful information.

The company I worked for with Atlas, we would not place a label on the furniture before its wrapped, we do that on the wrap itself if its going into warehouse or unit storage so as not to have to waste time unwrapping and rewrapping to check the label, since its stretch wrapped after padded for term storage. I even helped a few movers from other agency companies with other national/global moving services did the same for long distance moves.

read my comments. omg so many mistakes, terrible. this is how not to load a truck.

You should hire a moving company

@@charlesreed6460 we have friends helping us to try and save some money but next time I'll probably hire a moving company.

Wow, tough grade, what's it take to get 100%

There furniture pads.

rich k they have a blanket n didn’t put anything heavy on it buddy

I agree..A grill is usually dirty.Clean out grease trap.Shrink wrap trap and then grill itself.Use as base after big furniture is done.

You should not unload if you do not know how stay off the load you always look behind something before moving it

well said brother

Well said. you forgot to add that odd shape boxes take a lot of space, which uses up more square foot and you end up paying more.

I feel your response is way overstated. These boxes are likely PBO's and so it's not really up to them what the boxes were packed in. I'm sure they know what moving boxes are lol.

Who wants to pay $3-4 for a freakin cardboard box ? I went to the hardware store, the boxes I got were heavy duty and FREE !

a lot of people seem to like to use wine boxes lol
