I agree that if you are situationally capable - don't even bring any

One thing most people don't know is that its real rare for your stuff to
go on to a moving van and be delivered by same van on the other end, at
least not without some shuffling in between. One truck will generally
make a handful of pickups in an area, then go to a storage facility,

The worst thing about moving companies is that they
are poorly regulated, and pretty much left to dictate
whatever they want. You're screwed for the most part
with them no matter what, since they get your money up
front and have your stuff to hold in the event you
balk.
