Packing the Truck Safely and Securely

Project Details

Slide 1: The process begins with bulky, non-fragile furniture to act as a base.

slide 2: Tier-building is similar to piecing together a puzzle or playing Tetris!

Slide 3: The Move Technicians keep a constant flow of items coming.

Slide 4: Extra padding is added where necessary to keep the items from shifting during transport.

Slide 5: The end result is a tightly-packed load.

"Building the tier" is the process of loading the truck with boxes and furniture in a way that maximizes the use of space and the safety of the items. Good tier-building is truly an art! Your diggins & ROSE foreman/driver is in charge of tier-building, while the move technicians bring in a constant flow of items to be placed. Heavy items are used as a base, with decreasing weight as the items are stacked with as little space between them as possible. The less space there is, the less likely it is that these items will shift during transportation.
