After your belongings are loaded in the moving truck, you can then return back to your pick up location and load up your personal vehicle on the Auto Transport.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer to pick up both moving equipment at the same time, it will be more challenging to load your belongings because your towed vehicle and trailer will be in the way.<\/p>\n<p>Check out some How To videos if you are not familiar with loading your vehicle on to the Auto Transport or <a title=\"How to load your car on a U-Haul car dolly\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Articles\/Tips\/3\/How-to-load-your-car-on-a-U-Haul-car-dolly\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=articles&amp;utm_content=20140425-splitdispatchforan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tow Dolly<\/a>. <span style=\"color: #ff00ff\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All that is left is the open road and the journey to your new home!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How did you accomplish your move with a moving truck and auto transport?
