Today my friend Joe and I moved another friend’s stuff from a rural area of Easter Iowa back to Milwaukee. She moved back to Milwaukee but had left lot of her stuff in a rural home in Iowa. How much stuff, Joe and I did not know.
Originally the three of us were to go there with a pickup truck from another friend, rent a U Haul trailer nearby and come back. As we talked more about this we decided it would just be best to take our car there and rent a U Haul truck. A 21 foot truck seemed more than enough for her stuff.
When U Haul called and said would we like to take a 26 foot truck, the largest one they have, for the same price as 21 foot truck, we said yes. Our friend Joe had experience driving big trucks. So early this morning the three of us by car crossed Wisconsin and right before the Mississippi river picked up the truck and went to this rural spot.
Fortunately someone there had boxed our friend’s stuff, except the furniture. We started to pack the boxes in the truck and every time we thought we were near the end of the boxes we found more ready to go. After we packed all the boxes there was barely enough room for the little furniture our friend was taking back to Milwaukee. At the end the whole 26 foot truck was packed tight. We left at 7:30 am from here and returned with full car and full truck around 9:30pm.
Using my new camera and new IPhone I took pictures which eventually I will put on the internet with a pictorial story of our ‘road trip.’ But for now I want to say, when taking a road trip to move stuff, the bigger is the better in truck size.
