A new guide by Movers.com offers essential tips on how to drive a moving truck.

North Brunswick Township, United States - August 10, 2023 /PressCable/ —

A recent study conducted by The Zebra found that 66% of Americans experience driving anxiety - and Movers.com believes that, when driving a moving truck, this anxiety is amplified as the driver will not have experience operating such a large vehicle. As such, it has published a new guide titled “Best Ways To Drive A Moving Truck”.

More details about Movers.com and the full guide can be found at https://www.movers.com/truck-rental-guides/driving-a-moving-truck.html

Low cost is the main reason many people are now choosing to DIY a move; however, this comes with its own set of challenges - renting and driving a moving truck chief among them. From loading the belongings to maneuvering on narrow roads, Movers.com offers expert advice on how to avoid mistakes and accidents.

“Driving a rental truck can be more stressful for you mostly when you are driving it for the first time,” writes the author. “To help you drive a moving truck efficiently, we have gathered a few important tips.”

To start, the guide suggests that movers inspect the rental truck to ensure the lights and signals are working, the tires are filled with sufficient air, and there is enough gas for the trip. To avoid liability for any damages they did not cause, Movers.com recommends checking for dents and scratches and taking pictures.

The moving professionals also stress the importance of careful and proper loading for both road safety and the protection of belongings. If items are not properly secured with ratchet straps, they could move or topple - potentially getting damaged in the process and distracting the driver. Similarly, a truck that is unbalanced will be more difficult to manage, which could lead to traffic accidents.

Movers should also take into account that the truck will move much slower than a car, whether it’s accelerating or stopping. As such, the guide advises always maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles and taking wider turns.

With one of the largest networks of licensed and insured moving companies, Movers.com has been offering no-cost estimates since 1994. Those who decide they want to compare their DIY move costs with professional mover rates can fill out a short form on the website to receive up to seven estimates.

James, Maxey fuel 76ers over Knicks in NBA Cup thriller

LOS ANGELES — LeBron James scored 20 points including a late tip-in to help seal the Philadelphia 76ers' 98-93 victory over the NBA champion New York Knicks on Friday. The 76ers notched their second win of the young season over the Knicks after spoiling their championship banner-raising with a victory at Madison Square Garden on opening night. The win had a double edge as Friday's games marked the start of the fourth edition of the NBA Cup, the NBA in-season tournament won by the Knicks before they went on to beat the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals for their first championship since 1973. Group-stage Cup games will be played throughout November, all counting in the regular-season standings. Quarter-finals will be played December 4-5 and semi-finals December 8-9 before the final on December 11 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tyrese Maxey scored 27 points to lead the Sixers, who took control early against the sloppy Knicks. They led by 14 in the third quarter and weathered a late Knicks surge. Jalen Brunson's step-back three-pointer put New York up 90-89 with 1:32 remaining. James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, answered with a basket that put Philadelphia back in front and pushed the lead to 96-91 with a tip-in off a Maxey miss with 11.9 seconds left. James, 41, added nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal and a vintage chase-down block in what 76ers coach Nick Nurse called his best game since joining as a free agent in June. "I thought he was really good all the way through," Nurse said. "When we got some downhill stuff he used his size and knocked them around a little bit for some layups... kind of pushed and organized it. "He's been good, but that was his best game, for sure." Brunson led New York with 24 points and Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, who fell to 2-4. The Dallas Mavericks, fueled by 35 points from Kyrie Irving and 33 from Cooper Flagg, rallied to hand the Houston Rockets their first defeat of the season 116-111. The Rockets had emerged from a back-and-forth first half with a 51-44 lead, pushing the advantage to as many as 11 before taking an eight-point lead into the final frame. Irving's three-pointer with 7:01 remaining put Dallas back in front and they wouldn't trail again, the Mavs finding an answer when Houston twice pulled level in the final stretch. "It felt good," Irving said. "We came in at halftime, we weren't proud of our effort. We looked each other in the eye and we were just like, we've got to do better. "We didn't bring it in the first half, but the second half we definitely brought it." Curry climbs scoring list Golden State star Stephen Curry scored 31 points to lead the Warriors to a 112-95 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in a rollercoaster contest in San Francisco. The Lakers out-scored the Warriors 38-15 in the first quarter, the Warriors erasing the 23-point deficit by outscoring Los Angeles 38-15 in the second to knot it 53-53 at halftime. Luka Doncic scored 37 points for the Lakers. The night's abiding image was of him crashing to the floor as he was wrong-footed by Curry -- who fired over him for a three-pointer. Curry took his career points tally to 26,674, surpassing Dominique Wilkins (26,668) for 18th on the all-time scoring list. In Miami, Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered a triple-double of 31 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists to propel the Heat to a 145-125 victory over the Indiana Pacers. In Boston, the Celtics romped to a 125-111 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Payton Pritchard scored 30 points off the bench and Jayson Tatum scored 26 for the Celtics, who led by as many as 32 points. The Orlando Magic drained 18 three-pointers and withstood a career-high 41-point performance from Toronto's Scottie Barnes. Detroit shook off a slow start to hand the winless Nets a fifth straight defeat in Brooklyn, where Cade Cunningham scored 20 points and Ron Holland added 18 off the bench in a 110-94 Pistons victory.
