Self Haul vs. Van Line haul

Quite often our Consultants draw a distinction between these two methods of hauling our customers household goods from origin to destination.  The self haul is when the local agent for a van lines will use their own truck, driver and crew to actually haul the shipment to destination.  The van line haul dispatches the most available and appropriate truck and driver in the van line/agent hauling fleet to haul the shipment from origin to destination. 

With self hauls, we feel there is more consistency in the move since the same agent representative, packers, loaders, driver and crews are used from the first estimate all the way through to delivery.  Often times in the summer and busy periods the van line will require shipments to be self hauled within a certain mileage radius- usually about 500 miles.

All of our shipments regardless of the method require certain driver credentials and performance ratings.  You can be sure that whichever method for hauling, the best drivers and crews will be used on all of our shipments.

  2. One of the main areas that you are likely to rely on the man and van hire services is when the move is within the local town or city, and you aren't in need of transporting a significant amount of heavy boxes or large pieces of furniture.
