Regardless if your moving across the street, across town or across country moving can be very stressful. The move can become even more challenging if it includes moving/transporting a vehicle. Here are some easy tips to remember
Follow these guidelines
- Move on a weekday if you can, when banks, utilities and government offices are open.
- Order preprinted address labels with your new address as soon as you know it. It makes the change-of-address process much easier.
- Keep a utility log to check service-transfer dates. If you’re moving locally, leave the power and water on at your old address a few extra days so you can go back and clean up after your move.
- Choose a “packing room” ahead of time and box up a few things each day.
- To save time, rent a carpet cleaning machineat the same time you rent your truck.
- Mark each box with its contents and destination room. That way, you and your friends will know where each box belongs at your new home.
- If moving locally, you may want to leave your pets with a friend during moving day. Animals can become confused and frightened during a move.
- Remember to allow for extra braking room when driving a moving van or truck. Anticipate stops and allow a 3-second gap between you and the vehicle in front of you.
- Moving vans require up to 12 feet of overhead clearance. Watch out for drive-thru restaurant and motel over-hangs.
