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.

Schedule Utilities * Turn off your utilities at your old home a day after you move and turn on the utilities at your new home a day before you move. Collect any last month deposits from the utility companies.
Quick Moving Tip # 61 -
Movers Liability - Released Value * Released value: Offered at no charge, the mover assumes liability at 60 cents per pound per article. We would only recommend going this route when money is tight. College students that don't have much value to their goods may opt for this protection.
Pro Movers Tip # 3 -
Packing Dishes and Plates * For packing dishes, after wrapping them individually with paper, wrap 4-6 wrapped dishes together in a bundle. Be sure to stand them upright in a heavy duty box. Do NOT lay flat. For larger platters and plates use your towels and other small linens for wrapping.
