7 Trends You May Have Missed About Cross Country Movers Small Load

 

What Will Movers Not Take?

 

When packing up your personal belongings as you prepare for your transfer, you may wonder what things movers might not be able to take for reasons of health and safety.

Here are a few items that will either not be taken by movers or we recommend packing and transporting yourself to avoid damage or complications.

 

Pack your vegetables for the move

 

Keep your beloved plants safe by carrying them yourself to your new home. There are regulations that prevent the movement of certain distances between certain plants. This keeps insects and diseases away if they move from one state to another, where the state-to - state environment could be vastly different. Many insurance companies often forbid live plants to move around.

To keep your plants alive, you'll want to make sure your plants are watered as needed, which you can't do if they're on a moving truck. Otherwise they will be able to soil or die, which could damage your other properties. If there are bumps in the road, the pots holding the plants could also break, and they are not held upright. Changes in vehicle temperature over an prolonged period of time can also influence the well-being of your plants.

Apart from perishable food that goes out of date in transit, it can attract insects that neither you nor your moving company want to deal with. Give yourself permission to order take-outs and tap into your self-stable supply of items such as soup and cereal during your transition time from one home to another.

As you packing, you can put any non-perishable items aside to be donated to one of our charitable partners, Move for Hunger. To avoid food waste and limit any extra inventory you may not want to take into your new home, we will donate your food for you.

 

Movers Can not Move Combustibles

 

For obvious reasons our insurance provider forbids us to transport any combustible objects. We will move it for an item such as a lawnmower as long as it is drained of all the gas. In order to ensure our Giants have the right materials to properly load the item into the truck, a riding lawnmower should be noted beforehand.

As a rule of thumb, any object that might threaten the remainder of your inventory or your movers should not be delivered or transported in one of our vehicles. To keep everyone safe, we cannot move propane tanks, aerosols, paint, gasoline, lighter fluid and kerosene, or charcoal.

 

Chemical Products Do Not Move

 

On a similar note, to protect your inventory and your movers, movers won't move items like corrosives, bleach, ammonia, nail polish remover or other chemicals. While moving these objects, there are so many unknown variables at stake so it's best to simply remove them once you arrive at your new home.

 

Pack your Personal Values and Sentimental Items For the Move

 

A family heirloom has no legal limitation that forbids a moving company from transporting the item to your new home, but we strongly recommend that you carry sentimental things on your person when you travel. While packing, consider whether, under unforeseen circumstances, an item can be truly replaced, and if it can not be, please keep it in your personal vehicle during your process.

Many common items falling under this https://truenorthmovers.com category include: financial and personal records, cash, jewelry, credit card checkbooks, passports, and medicine. Keep these items with you to prevent any further stress.

The trained professionals at True North Movers are here to carefully and compassionately answer any of your moving questions. If there is an object you are uncertain about packing or whether or not it is secure on the moving truck, please contact your moving coordinator during your packing process and we will be pleased to provide the proper support.
