Last spring, the Harmons spent forty minutes in a rental lot arguing about whether the 16-foot truck would fit their sofa or whether they should have paid for the 26-footer. This spring, they stood on their porch with a coffee and watched a crew back a truck up the driveway on time. Same family, same …
