Have a Floor Plan * Before your movers begin to relocate your things, be sure to have a floor plan of where everything is going to be located in the new house. This will save your movers time and YOUR money.

Be Available to the Movers * Hang around to direct movers, do not leave the house until they are finished. Especially when receiving your goods, stick around to direct movers in furniture placement.

Read Your Moving Paperwork * Read the information carefully on your inventory, estimate, order for service, and bill of lading. Very important you understand this information carefully.

Packing Small Framed Pictures * For packing small pictures, such as 8 x 11 framed pictures, wrap similar to dishes - each one individually in packing paper, then stand upright or vertically in the carton - do not lay flat

Best Packing Paper to Use * Use unprinted news instead of newpaper. Newspaper leaves ink on everything it comes in contact with, most notably all over your hands.

Where To Get Boxes and Materials * Ideas for where to get boxes include - box stores, moving companies, friends or neighbors that just moved, craigslist or backpage, cardboard recycling centers, grocery stores, and big box home centers.

Mark Your Boxes on the Sides, Not the Top * When marking your boxes be sure to do so on the side, not the top. When boxes are stacked on top of eachother, you can read writing on the side, but not on the top.

Directions For Movers * Make sure the movers have good directions to your house. Time is money to the movers. Most line haul drivers probably have a GPS system in their rig, but just in case give them directions over the phone along with major cross roads.

Insurance Types For Interstate Moving * Full value protection: Replacement value of lost or damaged goods in your entire shipment. If you have the extra bucks to spend, this is the way to go. We would not recommend anything less.

Be Aware of Your Vehicle * When driving to your new home or destination make sure your vehicle is running well and you are familiar with all the components - adjust mirrors, know where and how to operate all the functions.
