If you have lots of heavy books, I found that the standard "office boxes" with their side hand openings were much easier to handle and stack. Also, standard size boxes facillitated compact arrangement in the truck. Label boxes. Definitely use dollys and carts to move boxes (don't carry them!). Be aware that packing takes much longer than expected. Moving time provides a good opportunity to donate your extra stuff (pickup times may take weeks). Last minute yard sales usually require too much valuable time and effort for their small profit. Consider moving earlier than necessary so weather and all the unexpected stuff doesn't make moving day even more difficult.
