Need to hire a truck to move a kids bed...

Pepper · #1 03-09-2011, 08:23 AM

I am giving my daughter's bed to another mom who needs one but neither of us drives :P. Does anyone know a person with a truck or van that I can hire to move it? I am at Gladstone and Erie and she is at Erie and Dougal. I'd call a taxi van but I don't think it will fit, it has to be a van with no seats or a pick up.

Thanks!

And yes, it's true, I actually have THREE beds we don't need. Ha. When we move the futon couch will go too so actually it's 4 beds. How does all this stuff accumulate in here? It's a mystery to me...

My brother has a truck who does this kind of stuff...if it will be only 1 trip he charges $60.
Let me know and I'll get you in touch with him.

Thanks!

60$, yikes! That's really steep, it's only a couple blocks away. I think I'll call a taxi van with the dimensions and see if it will fit. That would be about $10 max...

Maybe that's your best option...my bro is coming from the county.

Like I said he's coming from the county and it's not worth his time and gas to do it for $10-20.

I was only trying to help someone who was asking.

That's a great price for a move of more than one item for sure. A mover cost way more than that. I just have this one thing I'm giving away though. I don't mind paying a bit of money to get it over there but...

I wasn't trying to be upsetting and I understand everybody is trying to make a bit of cash these days - gas is insanely priced.......coming from the county is has to be worth while

In this scenario I was just thinking that these folks may not have $60 to move something that is being given away for free to someone in need.........

not a personal attack at all and I hope it didn't seem like that!

Thanks for clarifying organiclife! I did feel like it was an attack. It's so hard to read someone's tone on the internet. I feel much better now! :)

Pepper, I hope you found someone to help you move the beds!
