Moving isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do. You need to pack, find a truck, load the truck, unload the truck, and unpack. Of course, this doesn’t include all of the other matters that arise with a move, especially a long distance one. Luckily, Cedar Rapids has professional movers throughout the area that can help you with the moving process.

 
While you focus on matters such as a change of school, record transfers, and job changes, the movers will relocate your items to the new destination. There are many movers in Cedar Rapids that specialize in long distance moves and they will be fully prepared to handle the move with care and professionalism.

Begin Packing Right Away

 
Waiting until the last minute to pack up your belongings is never wise and will only bring about more stress. Start packing as early as five weeks before the scheduled moving date. There are certain packaging supplies that you will need to purchase.

• Packaging Tape
• Razors and Scissors
• Permanent Marker
• A Variety of Different Box Sizes
• Packaging Peanuts
• Bubble Wrap
• Old Newspapers

 
As you pack away your belongings, begin in the room you use the least. Pack away all items and mark the boxes clearly. They should be marked with the room they are to go in. Keep an inventory list as you move along with the packing process. This could include a box count per room or something more specific. The inventory list can be compared to the movers on moving day and used to make sure everything makes it to the new location safely.

Time to Move

 
Moving day will come faster than you could believe. Nevertheless, you will want to be as prepared as possible. Make sure you have a sitter for any children or pets. Have all entryways cleared and free from anything that may cause a hindrance while the movers carry items out. The area where the movers will have to park should be free of debris and obstacles as well.
