As a mover, some of my least favorite items to load are crazy shaped headboards and footboards, treadmills, weird couches/ sectional couches with the weird corner piece. Ect. There is a lot of awkward stuff that I would love to have tips on for loading!

I am moving out of California. Bought my own trailer and need to learn these techniques. Thanks for the video

[garycoombes]

In Australia we call small stuff on top PUS, people's unstackable stuff.
Clients can look a bit confused when the packer is asking the movers to bring out some PUS.

[jessejones]

Great video! My prefered terms for the top of the tier are 1. Chowder; 2. Loosies; or 3. Misc, but Upstuff is good too.

As a Mover i detect no lies here great job. People don't get that this is and art and a skill. This takes years of practice to get this good. But you gotta start somewhere.

[wildflower]

We are moving across country in the fall. I dread it! 🤣

[claudiahansen]

Superb video. You took your time and explained your reason behind the placement while demonstrating on a real load. Lots of pads!

Used to work for United Van Lines and I sucked at loading. It truly is an art to do it right. Good job on the video.

You’re very professional my friend, I’m mover from Israel and is there movers don’t work like this

[everymanforthemself]

Outside of the incipient music, an informative video that will help many. Thanks

[AaronMaricic]

I was watching this randomly since we're moving next month, and got excited when you brought in the ladder and I saw the 412 area code realizing you're a 'Burgh company! 😁We're just south of Pittsburgh! Great video.

[richardbatten]

Great video. I'm going to show this to our new recruits here in Bristol UK!

[CoastalMovingLabor]

The fact that you used the word 'chowder' shows that you are indeed a highly trained professional, and old-school too!

[ChattyCinnamon]

From one removal man to another - Great stacking

I just have 2 questions:
1. Is this the pace you normally work at?
2. Do you normally work alone or is this just for the video?

Great video!

[bigpete]

Wow, great watching a master of his trade! Really curious how you are going to secure your load, maybe with a mattress/boxspring to hold it all in on the end since its so square and tight!? Straps? Rope? if so how many? or maybe leave the guy who was late that morning to hold the load steady on the way to the destination?

Would really love to hear about your favorite techniques for handling daily problems on a move and your favorite or preferred tools and why, like elastic bands always? or just for local moves?

Thanks!
