It is excellent if you are just moving down the street and a Lowe's happens to be near you. the trucks are something like an F-250 with a large flattop bed and a high cage around it so you can stuff it full!!

Liquor stores have a lot of boxes on delivery day - check in with them and make sure you pick up the boxes when you say you will if you've asked them to save them for you. Large lawn/leaf garbage bags make good emergency wardrobe carriers. Tape around a bunch of the hangers, stick thru a hole punched in the bottom of the bag, and tie the loose ends shut. Stack carefully and hang back up as soon as possible. For shorter moves, a borrowed clean out cattle or horse trailer works great :) For older folks, get your son and his friends, or your daughter and friends to help out and provide pizza and pop for the helpers.
