This was the case of Daniel, who moved from southwest New Mexico to Hudson Valley. Happy about his new paycheck and ready to roll on a new lifestyle Daniel is overwheamled by the various options when it comes to picking a professional full-service moving company.
Daniel came over from Europe to the US and moving across states seems a bit diffrent from what he is used to. As a first time mover, Daniel coworkers advised him to get an estimate from a full-service moving company as it will cost him less by the end of the day. Here is why!
A Full Service Moving Company Will Take Care Of Everything
Daniel is a post graduate in Economics and he know very well his opportunity cost. The first thing he was tought in economics is that it will cost him less money if he hired somebody to do the things he is not really good at while he focuses on doing what he knows best.

Daniel knows that he could rent a Uhaul truck, load everything up and call it a day but in reality things seem to be a little bit more diffrent. Daniel is not a handyman but he rather uses the power of logic to get things going. He was told that moving heavy items when moving long distance will cost him a lot, plus all the labour hours he would need to undo and redo everything when he goes to his new place.
