Moving Day: Work Smarter not Harder!

Moving made simpler by using these helpful tools!

 

Part of moving is having the tools to get the job done right!  Whether you are hiring full service, load only or totally DIY- These tips will help you work smarter, not harder!

  The Right Tools:  Simple items need to be spared from packing, such as screwdrivers, plastic bags for hardware and screws, hammers- essentially anything that your items require for dis-assembly!  It is important to have a marker to label the screws and hardware, as re-assembly will go much quicker at your new home.  It is also helpful to have a dolly for lifting and moving heavier or large items, instead of carrying them you will use the dolly to wheel!

The Right Transport:  Moving can be done a variety of ways, however it is helpful to have a vehicle large enough to accommodate everything in one trip.  This is especially necessary for any long distance moving.  Our trucks are available in a variety of sizes, and are equipped with all of the necessary accessories.  Rental places exist as well, which is often helpful for long distance.  It is also important to consider the height of the vehicle, because the lower the bed, or best case if a ramp exists, the easier that loading will go.

The Right Information:  It is important to ask questions if you are hiring a moving company, whether for full service or partial.  Any reputable service provider will be able to give answers to any questions that you ask.  Several options exist to best fit your needs, and being educated is the only way to make the best decision!
