How to Ensure Move Day Runs Smoothly

The day of transportation is without a doubt an exciting time. All of your belongings should be in one central location, preferably the largest room in your house. To avoid extra labor fees, keep all of your items on the lower level of the home and close to the front door. If you have a garage, consider parking your vehicle elsewhere so that you can store your goods there.

 
Provide the moving company with a copy of the packing list and also let them know the route you plan on taking to your destination. Before departing, don’t leave any stones overturned. Make sure to check all of the crawl spaces, cupboards, rooms, and closets for items that may have been left behind.
