I am in need of your biggest container, what size would that be? I am moving 5 bedrooms and a 10x20 storage from 89143 to 70461
MovingPlace Response
The largest option that we have would be exclusive use of a full 53 foot tractor. If you need additional space, we could use part of a second truck to accommodate any overflow. Please give us a call for special pricing on this at 800-876-6839. Thank you! Movingplace

from Stacey B. in TX - Thursday, April 22, 2021
We will be moving from TX to MO. The problem we are having is we are not leaving until our house is sold but would like to have a container to load and have ready for the day we move. Do you offer any monthly rentals?
MovingPlace Response
Hi Stacey, We only offer storage at destination. Meaning, you load everything up at the origin and we ship it to the destination and hold it at the destination terminal until you are ready to receive it. We do not have containers that you can leave in front of your house for longer than 3 business days. Movingplace

I’m moving from Ellsworth, ME to Grass Valley, CA in late June and I only need a couple items moved to my destination in california. A 4x8 trailer would probably be a good fit. Could you please let me know the cost of this asap? Thank you!

Yes Kaya, We can get you pricing for that amount of space on a shared moving truck. We see that you have filled out the quote request form. We will be emailing pricing shortly. Movingplace
Question to MovingPlace
from Brandon G. in WI - Thursday, March 15, 2018
I put in for a moving quote from Bagley, Wi to Levittown, Pa. I forgot to ask if this will be a shared moved. I need this to be a cheap as possible and would be before the end of the month. Thank you
MovingPlace Response
Hi Brandon, Any shipment that is not ordering the entire moving van is going to be on a shared moving truck. Let me clarify that though. We only put one household shipment on each 28 foot truck. The truck is empty when it comes to you. You will load your stuff up against the front wall and work your way back until you are finished loading. Then, a bulkhead wall goes up to separate your stuff into a "private compartment" in the front of the truck. We take the moving truck to a nearby freight terminal where we put boxed and crated freight on the back of it to fill it up. We do this so that your household items are never left unattended and don't sit in front of someone else's home. So all of our moving vans are, in effect, shared moving trucks, but you are not sharing with another household. Movingplace

from Vicki C. in MA - Tuesday, February 13, 2018
Hi , I have several pieces of furniture and some boxes to move from Cape Cod, MA to Seattle WA. I would like to share a truck and do this during the week of july 22-July 29. Is there time to arrange this?? Maybe equivalent to one bedrooms worth (not a whole apt). Thank you so much! Vicki
MovingPlace Response
Hi Vicki, We have shared moving trucks leaving Massachusetts every week. We just need to work out the amount of space you will need on the moving van and when the truck would be available to load on your week. Please give us a call at 800-876-6839 and we will work out pricing and timing with you. Thanks! Movingplace
Question to MovingPlace
from Carole T. in NC - Sunday, January 7, 2018
I would have a queen size mattress no box spring and a couple boxes. Would that qualify for your 4x8 minimum on a shared moving van? Moving it to Minneapolis
MovingPlace Response
Hi Carole, You would have some space left over on a 4ft x 8ft section on our shared moving truck, but that still might work for your small shipment. I see that you filled out a quote request on the website. We will email pricing for that small shipment. Thanks! Movingplace
Question to MovingPlace
from Nancy W. in WA - Wednesday, December 27, 2017
I'm moving about a pickup truck load to Fl. How much could that cost me? I'm in WA state. I'm wondering if it would be cheaper for me to just buy a used truck or rent a u-haul? Could you be alot cheaper?
MovingPlace Response
Hi Nancy, Our service provides the truck, fuel, driver, and door to door transport. We would not be able to provide all of that at a cost that is less than Uhaul. That being said, we probably won't be a whole lot more. When using a shared moving truck, we will be very competitively priced. Movingplace

Question to MovingPlace
from Ethel S. in GA - Saturday, September 30, 2017
Interested in a piggy back move to CA. Cost and how much advance notice?
MovingPlace Response
Hi Ethel, Unless you order the entire moving truck, all of our moves are on a shared moving truck. When the truck comes to your home, it will be empty. You will load right up against the front wall of the truck. Once you are done loading, a bulkhead wall goes up to separate your goods into their own compartment. We have the truck taken to the local trucking terminal where boxed and crated commercial freight will fill out the the rest of the truck. We never leave your goods unattended in front of another customer's home! We need about a week's notice to be able to schedule a move on a shared moving truck. If you want to rent a whole tractor trailer, we can usually do that with 3 day's notice. Movingplace

Hi, I am moving to Tucson Arizona I need to leave California on the 29th and I am looking for someone that is going the same way.
MovingPlace Response

Question to MovingPlace
from Holly B. in MI - Friday, August 18, 2017
My daughter will be moving in late August from Lambertville mi to a studio apt in Oakland CA. We're driving out in her car together with as much stuff as we can fit, but she would need to get her fullsize bed, couch, two dressers, and a kitchen table and chairs out there. Is it possible to just rent space on a truck already going out there to make it more affordable. She's 23 and just starting her first adult job, so money is tight
MovingPlace Response
Hi Holly, We can certainly help you with a shared moving truck. Each customer gets a private compartment, so there is never any mingling of goods. Also, the moving truck is never left unattended with anyone's stuff on it. Please type "shared moving truck" in the comments section of the quote form and one of our representatives will email some pricing to you. Movingplace
Question to MovingPlace
from Karen B. in WA - Tuesday, June 27, 2017
I have a 1 large piece of furniture and a few boxes to move from Battleground, WA to Phoenix, Arizona. Do you offer a shared moving truck option, where I could add these things to someone else's move when there is room in a truck?
MovingPlace Response
Hi Karen, We can make you the first load on the moving truck. We would bring the truck to you and you would load all of your stuff into the "nose" of the trailer (against the front wall). A bulkhead wall then separates all of your items into the front of the truck. We will then load commercial goods, boxed and crated freight, into the back part of the trailer to offset the cost of your move. In essence, all of our moves are on shared moving trucks unless you rent the entire van as an "exclusive use" unit. Movingplace
Question to MovingPlace
from Chris A. in IN - Wednesday, May 17, 2017
How long will a move from Valparaiso, Indiana to Flagstaff, Arizona take? Do you drop off and/or deliver on weekends? I have a 2 bedroom apartment. Can I move that on a shared moving truck? Thanks!
MovingPlace Response
Hi Chris, It will take about 6 days for us to move your stuff from Indiana to Arizona. We can work out dates so that you know when to anticipate arrival of the moving van at both origin and destination. Unless you are renting the entire truck, all of our shipments are on shared moving vans. However, we normally only do one household goods shipment on each moving truck. Here is how it works... The truck is empty when we bring it to your home. You load your stuff up against the front wall of the moving van and work your way back. When you are done loading, a bulkhead wall goes up to separate your stuff from anything else that we load. We take the truck back to a local freight terminal and load boxed and crated goods on the back to fill out the rest of the space, hence your "shared moving truck". Once we have a household shipment on board, your goods stay in our carrier's possession and are not left anywhere unattended (ie. at another customer's home). Movingplace

I need help moving a one bedroom apartment and two cars. A 2006 Chrysler 300 and a 2006 Ford Mustang GT. Which option should I choose ?
MovingPlace Response
Hi Kimberly, You should select the "One Bedroom" size for your one bedroom apartment move and then add the make and model of the cars to be moved in the comments section of the quote form. We can put the furniture on a shared moving truck (you get a private compartment on it) and the cars on an auto transporter to save you some money Of course, you can also call us at 800-876-6839 and we can give you a quote instantly over the phone.

Question to MovingPlace
from Jacque K. in FL - Wednesday, January 11, 2017
I am looking at moving a 2 bedroom apartment from Florida to Georgia. Could you give me a rough estimate of price, and do you work on Sunday's?
MovingPlace Response
Hi Jacque, This would be a good move for a shared moving truck. We can give you the front part of a moving van. Once you load, a bulkhead wall goes up to secure your goods and separate them from anything else on the truck. We would then take the truck to our freight terminal and load boxed and crated freight on the back. The truck is never left in front of someone's house and stays in our possession the entire time that a household shipment is on board. As for pricing for your move, please fill out our quote form or give us a call at 800-876-6839 as pricing changes with the seasons so we don't post prices in the forum. Thanks! Movingplace
Question to MovingPlace
from Hazel S. in AZ - Saturday, October 8, 2016
Hello, I am moving to Grand Island, NY from Phoenix, AZ on Dec. 17. How long will the trip take? Do you put more than one family on the truck? Hazel
MovingPlace Response
Hello Hazel, It should take about 6 business days to move your furniture from New York to Arizona. For our standard service, the moving truck is brought to your home empty. You load up against the front wall of the truck and work your way back. Once you are done, a bulkhead wall goes up that blocks your stuff into the front of the moving van. We then take it to a freight terminal and finish filling the truck with boxed and crated freight... so, there is generally only one household moving customer per truck. We do not remove your goods from the truck and your stuff is never left unattended in a place where someone could access your goods. It is a very safe way to move. Movingplace

from Gloria P. in FL - Wednesday, October 5, 2016
Hello. I would like to know the cost for 12' truck space for a long distance move with driver to move from 33137 Miami, Fl. to 20109 Manassas VA. Thank you.
MovingPlace Response
Hi Gloria, This would be a good move for our shared moving truck service. If you will fill out our quote form and put "piggyback move" in the comments section, we can get pricing for you to get your own 12ft compartment on the a moving van. You would load it, the driver would take it to Virginia and put it in front of your new home where you would unload it. That should be very economical in our system. Thanks! Movingplace

MovingPlace Response
Hi Nancy, We can work your move onto a shared moving truck for a "piggyback move". Each shipment gets a private compartment on the truck and once a household shipment is on board, it is never left unattended at another location.. so you have a safe and secure way to move a smaller shipment.

Question to MovingPlace
from Robert M. in CT - Thursday, July 28, 2016
Is it possible to rent just space on the moving truck? I don't mind waiting a few days before i receive the house items. I am moving from New haven to DC. Thanks
MovingPlace Response
Hi Robert, Yes, we can handle just about any shipment, large or small. You do not have to rent an entire moving van when using our services. Using a shared truck is a great way to save money when moving. Also, each shipment on the moving trucks that we provide is in its own compartment, so you don't have to worry about your stuff getting mixed up with anything else on the shared moving van. Thank you! Movingplace

Question to MovingPlace
from Christa G. in CA - Saturday, June 18, 2016
We are looking to move a Vespa, 2 Bedrooms of furniture, and maybe some book shelves from NY to LA. Is there a way we can join a moving van that has extra room for a discount?
MovingPlace Response
Hi Christa, That is, in essence, what we do. We bring a moving truck out to your home. You have a private compartment in which to load. We then take that moving truck to a freight terminal and load boxed freight onto the rest of the truck, that way, we are never leaving your household goods unattended in front of someone else's house. When we get to the destination, we drop the boxes at the local freight depot and bring the moving van to your home for you to unload. We never leave your household goods unattended and we do not move the stuff around inside the trucks. It stays right where you load it until you take it off at destination. Movingplace
