Good story. I worked in moving as well Once Upon A Time. We didn't do the super-high-end work or long-distance driving that this guy did, but the packing stories are about the same. There is a lot of skill to packing a moving truck well and quickly. It may not seem like it at the time, but we occasionally got these cross-load jobs where you could really tell. That's when a U-Haul that a customer packed broke down, and U-Haul would get them a new truck and pay for movers to move their stuff to the new truck. Almost all of them are pretty loosely packed by our standards, and can be transferred in an hour or two. We did get one where the customers had spent ~3 days packing everything into their truck. It was pretty chaotic, but the had sure enough filled every nook and cranny. I was kinda proud that we got everything except 3 medium-sized pieces into the new truck in about 5 hours. The full-pack jobs are usually only done by either the elderly, or people who have someone else paying for their move. It gets expensive, what with paying for people's time to pack things, and paying for new, high-quality packing materials. It's mostly easy work, though, and you at least don't have to deal with boxes that are falling apart, badly taped, badly packed, not enough stuff inside and so crush with anything on top of them, too much stuff and impossible to lift or hold together, 50 slightly different sizes that don't pack together well because they got them secondhand from all over the city, etc. And dishes and other fragile items actually get packed properly and don't get smashed up if you look at the box funny.
