Experienced movers kinda develop x-ray vision, they can fairly accurately tell
what's inside 90% of the cartons, especially when it's books. If nothing else
movers know not to place lighter cartons under heavy heavy (certainly not on
the hand truck, definitely not in the van), after so many moves it becomes
sorta an involuntary reflex... seems a little incomprehensible they'd stack
boxes of heavy books on top of a relatively light box, especially since by the
third box of books the towel box would begin to collapse. Granted it's manual
labor but movers just ain't that dumb.
