MOVING TIPS
How to Load a Moving Truck Like an Expert
Figuring out how to pack a moving truck is like a playing a game of furniture Tetris, the aim being to make your valuables fit inside with the least amount of stress. Of course there are strategies that can make you more likely to win, and by win we mean making it to your new home or storage unit without breaking all your stuff, and with your sanity intact.
To help, 803 Cheap Movers created this short essay, based on our 7 years of experience helping customers who turn to our local moving company when they relocate. We also asked professional movers for tips on how to pack well.
Start With a Plan
A little preparation before loading can save you a lot of time later. When everything is organized and ready to go, items are easier to stack securely and the truck is much quicker to unload at the destination.
Build a Layered Base
Think of the truck in three sections: bottom, middle, and top. Start with the heaviest items along the back, sides, and floor of the truck. Secure each section as you work to keep everything stable.
Wrap and Strap Everything
Protect furniture with moving blankets, then use stretch wrap to keep the blankets in place. Whenever possible, strap items to the truck walls so they don’t shift around if the driver has to brake suddenly.
Use Your Mattress as a Buffer
Place your mattress and box spring in protective bags and secure them upright near the front of the truck. The space between them can provide extra cushioning for fragile items such as mirrors and TVs.
Size Up, Not Down
Choosing a truck or storage unit that’s too small can end up costing more if you have to make extra trips. When you’re unsure, it’s usually better to choose a little more space than not enough.
Keep Loose Items Light
Use soft items like pillows, towels, and rugs to fill open spaces above the base layer. Avoid placing fragile belongings in this area, since loose items can shift during transport.

JUNK REMOVAL
803 Cheap Movers or Junk Removal: How To Get Rid Of Junk Like A Pro
Clearing out junk removal in Lugoff-Elgin, SC doesn’t have to mean a weekend of back pain and a truck bed full of regret. Whether you’re doing a garage cleanout, prepping a house for sale, or just tired of looking at that old couch, a little strategy goes a long way toward a fast, stress free junk haul away.
To help, 803 Cheap Movers or Junk Removal put together this short guide, based on our 7 years of experience helping customers in this area clear out everything from single items to entire estates.
Start with a Plan for Your Junk Removal Project
“How smoothly a junk pickup goes often depends on how well everything is sorted beforehand,” said Paul Packer, who founded 803 Cheap Movers or Junk Removal in Lexington, SC, in 2016. “When customers separate the items they want removed from the things they’re keeping, our crew can work much faster.”
Taking a quick walk through the space and making a simple list of what needs to go—such as furniture, appliances, yard waste, or construction debris can also help us provide a more accurate estimate. It allows our team to arrive prepared with the right truck, equipment, and number of workers for the job.
Know What Counts as Junk (And What We Can Haul)
Our junk removal service handles nearly everything that isn’t hazardous waste, including:
- Furniture removal — couches, mattresses, recliners, dressers
- Appliance removal — refrigerators, washers, dryers, water heaters
- Estate cleanout and foreclosure cleanout jobs
- Garage, attic, and basement cleanouts
- Yard waste removal — branches, old fencing, storage sheds
- Construction debris removal — drywall, flooring, cabinets
- Hot tub removal and shed removal
“If it’s too heavy to lift or too awkward to fit in a regular trash bin, that’s exactly what we’re here for,” said Jazz, a 803 Cheap Movers or Junk Removal team member with more than three years hauling junk across the Midlands.
Sort Before We Arrive to Save Time and Money
Just like packing a moving truck, junk hauling goes faster when items are grouped ahead of time. Paul recommends splitting items into three simple piles: keep, donate, and haul away.
“Anything still in good shape, we can help point you toward local donation centers instead of the landfill,” Paul said. “We try to recycle and donate as much as possible instead of dumping everything.”
Clear a Path for the Junk Removal Team
One of the biggest time-savers for any same-day junk removal job is a clear path from the item to the driveway or curb. Move small obstacles, secure pets, and make sure gates or doors are unlocked before the crew arrives.
“The clearer the path, the faster we work, and the less it ends up costing the client,” Paul said.
Get an Upfront, No-Obligation Junk Removal Quote
Every junk removal job starts with a straightforward, no-obligation quote — no hidden fees, no surprise charges. Our team looks at volume and labor, not guesswork, so you know the price before we start loading the truck.
“Keeping pricing honest and simple is always going to be the most important thing when someone calls us for a junk haul,” Paul said.
