    Yeah they do the whole job - packing up all the stuff etc.
    I guess im just looking for a man with a truck. Not necessarily a full moving company.

    It's unlikely that the 'man with a truck' will go away while you load it, hence he arrives with a truck it gets loaded and he drives it away. While he's there you're in effect paying for his time so he may as well load it.

    One other thing, you can drive quite a large lorry on a full B driving license. They can be rented to someone over 25 with a full license. Even if you don't drive yourself, maybe a friend or family member could.

    A category B licence only allows one to drive a vehicle up to a Gross Vehicle Weight of 3.5 tonnes hardly what could be called a "large lorry".

    A category C1 licence allows a GVW up to 7.5 tonnes. After that a category C is required or CE if it's an articulated truck.
