Moving companies in DFW

Pamaro · 03-15-2010, 01:28 PM

We're moving from Hurst (NE Fort Worth) to Lantana (Argyle) Texas. Anyone have any recommendations for moving companies? We don't want them to pack our boxes, we just want them to do the heavy lifting.

Thanks in advance!

No, I only know NY, Tampa, Miami and LA lol

But here's what I'd do, get some friends, make sure that these guys can actually lift, after all you won't want them to start dropping stuff. Get a lot of beer and bbq going on and pay them. However, it will be cheaper than having moving guys come in.

Rent out a pickup and one of those rental vans with the box in the back (aka trucks) that is about 24' long from budget. Carry the small stuff into the pickup and the large stuff into the truck. Then drive them to your new home, unload the furniture and other stuff, carry it into your new home and then proceed to set your new home up.

You'll be able to do this over one weekend

Thanks 2000v6! We've done that exact thing many times in the past and it was fine. However, we're all older and our backs aren't nearly as strong as they used to be, so I'd rather use a moving company. I'd like to still be able to walk when it's all over so I can set up the house after all of the heavy lifting is done by someone else!
