Colleges and universities across the country are welcoming their student body back to campus in August. Whether you’re moving your student across town or across the country to attend school, moving is stressful. Allow 5 Star Truck Rental to help make this year’s back to school an easier transition by renting a box truck or passenger van with moving equipment.

Renting the Right Equipment

- 5 Star’s box trucks are equipped with lift gates and can handle 1,650 pounds of heavy boxes, furniture, and appliances.
Proper Packing
- Organization is key when packing; pack similar items together, and label the boxes. Pack items securely, and utilize the proper moving equipment to minimize dropping and breaking valuables.
- 5 Star offers moving equipment to make sure your items stay secure during transit and are easily transported into the campus residence hall including:
- Dollies
- Moving pads
