Renting a moving truck means having to drive a moving truck, and driving a moving truck is not easy for a person used to driving a car or even a minivan or pick up truck.
Moving trucks and big and bulky; they offer have limited views; and they are slow. If you are renting a truck for your next move, you better be ready to get behind the wheel. Here are three things to be especially aware of:
Longer stopping distance – Moving trucks are heavier than cars and often require more time to stop.
Height – The trailer on a moving truck is much higher than a car or normal pick up.
Blind spots – Moving trucks are longer than cars or pick ups, and they have larger blind spots that you can’t eliminate by simply looking over your shoulder.
