In the days leading up to your move, whether long distance
or local, make sure to have a check list of all the things you need to get
done. Here are just a few we thought would be helpful to you:
A Few Days Before
Defrost the freezer.
If your refrigerator is moving with you, make sure to empty,
clean, and defrost it at least 24 hours before moving day.
Refill prescriptions.
Stock up on prescriptions you’ll need during the next couple
of weeks.
Double-check the details.
Reconfirm the moving company’s arrival time and other
specifics and make sure you have prepared exact, written directions to your new
home for the staff. Include contact information, such as your cell phone number.
Moving Day
Verify.
Make sure that the moving truck that shows up is from the
company you hired: The USDOT number painted on its side should match the number
on the estimate you were given. Scams are not unheard-of.
Take inventory.
Before the movers leave, sign the bill of lading/inventory
list and keep a copy.
