How to Pack A Truck the Professional Way
1. Back the truck close to the largest door of your home and, if possible, park where the sidewalk is high so the loading ramp will be level as possible.
2. Load heavy appliances first, tying them securely to the rings along truck walls with rope. Pile smaller and lighter items on top until this section is packed tightly to the roof and tied.
3, Next, load large furniture-sofas, beds, mattresses and box springs. Pack box springs, mattresses, mirrors, and pictures in packing crates cushioned with newspaper. Stand them on edge along inside of truck
4 . Place rolled rugs lengthwise in the center of the truck, wedged with the heaviest cartons, such as books and records (don't pack any cartons over 30 lbs. or you won't be able to lift them.)
5. Remove table legs and load table tops face down on pads or blankets.
6. Fill the truck to the top with boxes, chairs, and lightweight bundles, such as lampshades, or awkwardly shaped items, such as bicycles. Leave as little empty space as possible to prevent the load from shifting en route.
