Moving Tips
Weekends are typically more difficult to book for moving, especially holiday weekends like Memorial Day and Labor Day. If you can, book your moving day during the weekday and in the middle of the month. The first and last weeks of the month can be difficult to reserve.
When you're packing your rental truck, be sure to place your long items such as headboards, couches, mattresses, tables, and mirrors on the sides. Your heavier items should already be placed evenly over the back wall, forming a frame of sorts for the rest of your items. Make sure you properly prepare your long items such as your mirrors with sufficient protective padding and a mattress bag for your mattresses.
It may seem like a good idea to pack some of your bulky and lighter items in garbage bags, but your average garbage bag has the unfortunate tendency to rip and tear. Consider purchasing contractor bags at your local home improvement store instead; they're far more sturdy and durable. Save your cartons and boxes for your heavier and more fragile items.
The prospect of moving can fill you with different emotions: apprehension and excitement, loathing and anticipation. Regardless of how you feel about it, the large workload you have ahead of you requires a lot of patience, and a little help from your friends.
