dont they make you paint your truck though? nothing against that but i just bought a brand new truck and dont want it painted,,,,,, about 2 weeks ago i spoke with a recruiter from one of the major HHG companies, i asked him a few questions, one thing i didnt ask was do you always have to have a helper(unloader) ride with you in the truck?

I was wondering the same question about the color of the truck does it have to be white? I do notice most hhg guys trucks are white or two tone with white in it. except Allied which is orange

WHat color truck did u Buy?

[Rev.Vassago]

Most of the HHG carriers require the truck to be a certain color - most of the time it is white. My company requires at least 80% white, with the only other colors allowed being red and blue. My truck was blue when I bought it. The paint job ran me about $3500.

one thing i didnt ask was do you always have to have a helper(unloader) ride with you in the truck?

No. When I am loading or unloading, I hire labor from the nearest agent. If we don't have an agent in that area, I'll hire labor from one of the other moving companies. Very rarely do I have difficulty finding labor. I've never had to hire out of a truckstop, or from a temp agency, or anything like that.

Even if I did have someone ride with me, one person wouldn't be enough on most of my loads. The one I just finished, I hired 5 guys at origin, and 4 at destination. The one I'm loading next week, I'll have 3 guys at origin, and probably 2 at destination.

U got lucky buying a white truck with a tripac..I'm not so lucky my truck is silver so I would have to paint if I go the HHG route. I'm still thinking about it. I've been looking alot and I do notice some trucks in the truck stops and on the road that are pulling HHG trailer and are not white I think one of the companies was Berkins. As far as companies that train I'm in the northeast and one close to me U can check out is www.Georgemoving.com any info u get please share it

thanks jermaine

A fast HighJacking here, with a Question for the HHG movers.

For the HHG who are out there do you help in the loading? This is a just wondering question. Why I ask when I was in the Service, the only time I had used a Moving Company. Government paid for move. The crew helping was always complaining the Driver did not help. But as i was watching them load I would see the driver carring things out also.

Ok Backto yhe regular PRograms. Thanks.
