Straight Truck in Moving & Relocation Services
Moving and relocation trucking involves transporting household goods, office equipment, and personal belongings for residential and commercial moves. This sector ranges from local moves using box trucks to cross-country relocations requiring 53-foot trailers. Unlike most freight trucking, moving drivers interact directly with customers, handle personal property, and must exercise care to prevent damage to belongings and homes.
Straight trucks (also called single-unit trucks) are Class 6-8 vehicles where the cab and cargo area are mounted on the same chassis — there's no trailer to hook or unhook. Think food service delivery trucks, beverage distributors, construction material haulers, and furniture delivery vehicles.
