New Mover's Guide Now Available at Budget Truck Rental Locations Nationwide

DENVER, May 22, 2006 -- It's that time of year again -- moving season! Are you planning to move to a new residence? Did you know that moving midweek is cheaper; that dishes should never be packed flat; or that the largest items should be loaded onto the truck first? Budget Truck Rental today announced that these tips and more can be found in its new Mover's Guide now available free at Budget Truck Rental locations nationwide.

The 30-page guide features a countdown to moving day checklist, tips for packing awkward things, "no-no" things to pack, as well as helpful hints on moving with kids and tips for a safe move. For example, plants should be placed in plastic bags with air holes, and then packed in boxes; they should also be watered before leaving. Handlebars on bicycles should be loosened and turned sideways. Chains and pedals should be covered to keep grease off other items.

"As experts in moving, Budget has helped people move just about everything -- items large and small, common or unusual, from appliances and pool tables to toys and plants," stated Jerry Riordan, president of Budget Truck Rental. "We're proud to provide our customers with this Mover's Guide to make this important time in their lives easier and less stressful."

Budget Truck Rental also recommends the following six tricks to pack like a pro:

  -- Pack breakables loosely with lots of cushion material like bubble roll.
     Label them "fragile" and stack these boxes on top.
  -- Pack non-breakables tightly in smaller boxes so they're not too heavy.
  -- Mark boxes by room and general content so you know exactly where
     everything goes. Label them on the sides, not the tops, which may be
     covered by other boxes.
  -- Pack and label an "essentials" box of things you'll need right away.
     Pack it last in the truck, unload it first.
  -- Don't leave space in boxes. Fill in gaps with clothing or crumpled-up
     packing paper.
  -- Tape boxes properly. Tape the bottom seam first, then the top to close.
     Then wrap tape around the box near the top and bottom edges - that's
     where the box experiences the most stress.
