Moving is never fun or easy. With days, and sometimes months, worth of packing, even the calmest person will be at their wits end as it can easily become one of the largest causes of stress they will deal with during their lifetime. If dealing with the contracts, fees, and the time sink were not bad enough, trying to decide between hiring movers and doing the job yourself only seems to add to the anxiety.

While there are a few decent moving companies, may hire their movers at minimum wage, so there is little assurance of quality or safety. On the other hand, having to pack and move everything yourself creates a new level of stress as you must deal with driving a large truck on busy streets, and the costs associated with accidents and damages are astronomical. However, there is an alternative to these hassles; instead of either extreme, it is possible to hire a company that provides boxes for you to pack all of your belongings, then they drive the vehicle to your new destination and leave it there for you to unpack at your leisure.

UPack creates this level of freedom by dropping off their ReloCube or a trailer, allowing you to pack it, then picking it up and driving it to your new destination. Though they do not normally pack anything themselves, they offer suggestions for people who need the extra assistance. Unlike the average moving company, ABF does not charge based on room sizes or the shipping weight, but solely on the number of cubes and trailers being used.

The company will send you a DVD to show you the benefits of using the UPack system to pack your family’s belongings. ABF has been in the business of moving for over 80 years; years which contained many changes in the moving industry, and the company has been devising new ideas to help the consumer afford moving. The ABF Freight System, Inc. has been moving belongings on U.S. freeways since 1923, and their knowledge of the back roads helps avoid some of the worst traffic jams on freeways, helping to keep them on time.
