When you pick-up your truck, take a look at the other tools that are available for rent. Moving pads or blankets are a great and easy way to protect furniture and other more fragile items. A moving dolly is almost a necessity. It's the easiest way to move several boxes at once or to help with a more awkward piece. I never move without one!
There are also straps that can help move large, heavy items that are unable to be taken apart. We usually use straps to move our heavy armoire that won't fit on the dolly. They cost just a few cents per day and are an inexpensive way to save strain on your back.
