Long distance movers have it all figured out compared to the local moving companies (who move your belongings from one side of town to the other) who obviously don't have a clue.  Why would you want to spend an eight hour day packing boxes, loading them in the truck, wrapping furniture, loading it in the truck, then driving it all a few miles accross town only to unload it again?  Wouldn't it be smarter to pack boxes, load them in the truck, pack the furniture, load it in the truck, and then go for a nice long drive?  Long distance movers get paid for the time they are driving, the gas or mileage they drive, and the physical labor.  It makes much more sense to me to have a very large break in between loading and unloading, while still getting paid.

If I were to start a moving company, I would specialize in a long-distance moving service that owned the largest number of earth-friendly trucks.  Are they even making earth friendly semi trucks yet?  What a great way to capture the business of all of the "green" people, help the earth, and still get paid to go on a long drive.  Does anyone want to parner with me?
