(Fort Smith, Arkansas, June 20, 2000) - ABF's U-Pack® Moving service is featured in a recent H & R Block Consumer News report titled "The Money Side of Moving". This news segment, released in late May, focuses on the moving choices of two families seeking to reduce the cost of relocation. A direct link to the video is found at ABF U-Pack Moving's home page, www.upack.com.

As stated in the video narrative, "They (ABF U-Pack) bring the truck right up to your door. And we pack it and make sure everything is safe and sturdy. We don't have to pay for gas, we don't have to pay for a flat tire, we don't have to worry about it until it gets up there..."

U-Pack provides a cost-effective alternative to the high price of full-service movers. U-Pack pricing is comparable to that of truck rental, without the complication of driving an unfamiliar truck. The customer packs his goods and loads them on a trailer furnished by ABF. The company's professional driver then moves the trailer to the customer's new residence where the customer then unloads. Customers are charged only for the space used in the trailer.

H & R Block Consumer News is a personal guide to powerful, easy-to-understand solutions for growing and protecting your money.
