Travel and Transport
Unit 36 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!
