Unit 156 Moving

M: Hey, Sheena!

I haven't seen you for ages. What's new? Where are you going with all those suitcases? W: Hi Mark, it's been a while since the last time we ran into each other!

I'm bringing these suitcases home to pack because my family is preparing to move across the bay to Port Anderson. M: Really?

How are you going to transport all your furniture? W: I'm not sure.

I considered hiring a moving van, but someone told me it might be more convenient to rent a huge container and ship everything across. The details are a bit complicated because we've got so many boxes! M: Well, when my sister and brother-in-law moved to Dallas last year, they sent all their furniture and heavy items by cargo flight.

They hauled it there on a massive cargo plane, then rented a truck and picked it up at the airport after they arrived. W: That's interesting, but the problem is that we have so much junk, we might need two cargo planes!

M: Well, however you get it there, it sounds like you'll need help once you get it to the other side.

I've got a friend there who owns a self-serve truck company. He can rent you a truck at a discount rate. Which day are you moving? W: Next Saturday.

M: I'm free that day, so I'll help you out!

I've still got my small truck, so I can haul some stuff for you, too. W: Thanks, Mark.

That would be great!
