More Quick Tips For Moving and Packing #3
Another in a series of Quick Moving Tips!!
- Driving a moving truck is different…Remember to allow for extra braking room when driving a moving van. Anticipate stops and allow a 3-second gap between you and the vehicle in front of you.
- And again, I remind you that the smallest differences can be huge when drinving a rental moving truck…U-Haul moving vans require up to 12 feet of overhead clearance. Watch out for drive-thru restaurant and motel over-hangs.
- Some Items are simply too important to NOT keep close by to you…Get Organized and take it with you personally…Items of Personal Importance/Sentimental Value – This third category of non-allowables can create problems should your shipment be delayed or items lost. We suggest that irreplaceable items and\or sentimental items be carried with you instead of being packed with your shipment. Examples include: Airline Tickets Certificates of Deposit Prescription Medicine Car Keys Stocks Computer Discs Cell Phones Bonds Address Books Pagers IRAs Jewelry Laptop Computers Financial Documents Family Photographs Checkbooks Deeds Wedding Albums Cash Car Titles Personal Video Tapes School Records Professional Files VCRs & Stereos Medical & Dental
Records Insurance Policies (Life/Auto/Home, etc.) Remote Controls for TVs/VCRs/Stereos Documents Pertaining to Your New Home Keys to Furniture, Safe, and Home.
