John, I take it the piano(s) is(are) being taken down and moved from one site to another and then set back up? I don't understand why the University is so concerned about what the movers want? Are these "movers" university employees? The truck provides easy mobility in a given area and protects the legs from stress such as running over a cord or crack. I think it is a mistake to discontinue use of the trucks. Certainly in some concert situations the big castors (brass=expensive) work as well and are much better looking, but for overall reliability I like trucks...
