On the Road: Do-It-Yourself Moving Tips [07/17/2009 ]

READING, PA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/16/09 -- For the millions of do-it-yourself household moves taking place annually in the U.S., Penske Truck Rental offers step-by-step guidance. Here are a few tips to get you started:

--  Truck Selection.  Most movers find the 12- or 16-foot truck perfect
    for moving a few large items or the contents of a small condo or apartment.
    For guidance with larger moves or your truck selection, visit
    www.GoPenske.com.

--  Reserve Early.  Penske suggests reserving your truck at least two
    weeks in advance -- a truck is guaranteed with every Penske reservation.

--  Pack Smart.  Load the heaviest items on the truck first. Avoid injury
    when lifting, by always bending your knees and lifting with your legs.

--  Use Accessories.  Boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, moving blankets,
    and hand trucks are all essential moving tools that help protect your items
    during your move, making your experience more enjoyable.

--  Mark Your Boxes.  Label the outside of your boxes as you pack. It
    makes it easy to put the boxes in the right room when you unload at your
    final destination.

--  Think Green.  When selecting a rental truck, consider Penske Truck
    Rental, which is part of the EPA's SmartWay(SM) Transport Partnership.
    Penske is SmartWay(SM) certified and has earned the program's highest
    rating possible for environmental performance.

--  Safety & Security.  Trucks are taller, wider, heavier, and require
    more stopping distance than the vehicle you are used to driving. To ensure
    a smooth moving day, pick up your truck a day early and practice driving
    it. Take extra precautions, especially when the truck is loaded. Use
    caution near low hanging tree branches, building overhangs and when
    cornering. Park in well-lit areas and padlock the rear door. Penske offers
    24/7 emergency roadside assistance and optional protection plans.
    

Finally, with most family belongings packed tightly away, create a travel bag for moving day to keep important paperwork, credit cards, identification, change of clothes, drinks and snacks close at hand. For a complete list of moving tips, visit www.PenskeTruckRental.com.
