Moving Truck Rental

Before loading any moving truck, you need boxes that will stack safely and protect your contents.

The best paid sources are specialist removal suppliers online — double-walled boxes in uniform sizes stack most efficiently and do not collapse under load in transit.

Free sources include supermarket banana boxes (Lidl and Aldi are most reliable), off-licences, and Freecycle.

Buy or collect 20% more boxes than you think you need — most people have more belongings than they estimate.

When loading a moving truck, heaviest items go on the floor against the bulkhead wall, lighter boxes stack on top, and fragile items go in last.

Giant Van crews follow this method on every job.

If you book a removal with us, we can add a box pack to your booking.

National firms often send crews who have never worked a particular street before.

Giant Van drivers are allocated to regions they know.

That means parking strategy on restricted roads, awareness of time-controlled loading bays, knowledge of estate layouts, and understanding of access routes for large vans in older town centres.

Local knowledge reduces delays and prevents the situations where a crew cannot park and the customer loses hours waiting.

Giant Van's driver allocation is region-first, meaning you get someone familiar with the area, not the nearest available driver regardless of location.
