Sam's Small Moves

Load/Unload Your U-haul, Moving Truck, POD/Storage Unit or Semi

Here is some helpful information about the UHaul trucks and trailer

– U-Haul trucks are not measured like most trucks. UHaul measures the length of the roof which makes their trucks seem larger. We DO NOT recommend you putting things on the roof.
– U-Haul trucks are divided into two uses. “One-way” which is their better maintained and newer trucks and local which are the really old trucks that may not be able to make a long distance trip.
– Corporate stores are the locations run by U-Haul themselves. They tend to have longer hours and better equipment than other locations
– Dealers, which are the little guys renting UHaul trucks out of convenient stores and old car lots typically get the older, more beat up trucks. Always ask to pick up your truck at a corporate location
– U-Haul sets up legal protections so that each city has its own UHaul rental company. Most believe they did this because U-Haul was being sued so much for accidents caused by their equipment.

Short Notice Moves or Emergency Movers in Vancouver | Small Moves & Single Item Moves

Whether you need to move a fridge, a mattress, or the contents of a one-bedroom home, Sam’s Small Moves is here to help you get moving around Vancouver. Our vans are perfect for transporting a small number of items or single items that can’t be moved with a standard courier service. By using our specialized moving vans, we keep costs low and efficient.

Additionally, most small moves can be arranged on short notice or even after hours, depending on our availability.

Please note that we charge an additional one-hour travel time, which is standard in the industry. This ensures that our team can provide you with reliable service while covering travel logistics.

This morning I did a small move for a customer from Downtown to East Vancouver. All they had for furniture was a queen size mattress with box spring and a small book shelf and dresser. The rest of the stuff was boxes and bags. First we loaded the mattress and box spring. Then the small book shelf and dresser and lastly the boxes and bags. Once we got to the drop-off location in East Vancouver we unloaded everything to the curb and he paid me $
