Coordinating Loading and Unloading When Using A Rented Truck Driver

Coordinating Movers And Packing Services For Loading and Unloading When Using A Rented Truck Driver To Drive Your U-haul.

Organizing a move is a large enough task in itself, but when you’re renting a professional driver to drive your rental truck, you’re already off to a good start. At Rented Truck Driver, we take it upon ourselves to take the stress out of long-distance moves by providing reliable, experienced drivers. But one question we get again and again from customers is:

“How am I supposed to get the loading and unloading done if your drivers won’t do it?”

Great question—and we’ve got you covered with some simple steps to make the entire process easy and efficient from start to finish.

Step 1: Know What You Need

Fully understand your needs before you book loaders and unloaders. Here are some things to consider for your move.

• The size of your home or apartment
• How much volume that you’re moving
• That you have calculated the correct size of your truck
• Specialty items (like pianos, heavy furniture, or fragile pieces)
• Any time constraints (like construction move-in times or elevator reservations)

This will help you to understand how many movers you will need and for how long you will need them. Properly coordinating the packing, loading and unloading starts with allowing the nessasary time and the number of packers and loaders long before your move day.

Step 2: Book Loaders and Unloaders in Advance

We always recommend booking loaders at least two weeks in advance, especially during busy moving periods. Peak moving season is between May 1st and August 31st.

We make it easy by providing you with links to reputable sites where you can book loading and unloading help in your area. The highest-rated service most sought after is U-Haul’s Moving Help They enable you to compare movers on rating, price, and scheduling—and the overwhelming majority are familiar with working with professional drivers like ours.

Step 3: Coordinate Timing With Your Driver

Once you book your move with us, we’ll open a group chat four days before your truck’s pickup.

This chat includes:

• You, your spouse, or any additional person that you would like to be included in the text chat.

• The assigned driver

• Our office

• Our owner

This is where the magic happens—we use it to coordinate exact pickup and delivery times based on your schedule and your moving labor’s availability. If your loaders or unloaders need a specific window, we’ll work around it to make sure everything lines up smoothly.

Step 4: Prep for the Driver’s Arrival

Here’s what helps everything run on time:

Have everything packed and ready before the movers arrive.

Keep essential items (like paperwork, chargers, keys) with you.

If you’re towing a vehicle, have it ready to attach to the truck when the driver gets there.

Clearly communicate any special instructions or quirks about the building, parking, or truck access.

Step 5: Stay in the Loop

Once your driver gets behind the wheel, we keep you posted step by step.

Group chat is left open on the job so you can ask questions, stay updated, and have peace of mind knowing exactly where your stuff is at all times.
