Helpful hints
- Notify your telephone, electric,
gas, water, and credit card Companies.
- Forward necessary mail to your
new address. Discontinue service on a specific date.
- Notify former employers. This
will make tax time less taxing.
- Be there and give direction. Let
them know what you want loaded first and loaded last.
- Get a copy of your inventory
sheet from the foreman. Double check his notations about existing damage to
your goods.
- Have your insurance plan readily
available. Hopefully you will have no use of this tip.
- Devise a system. You should
label your boxes with their destination in your new home. Hang numbered signs
on the doorposts of each room and write the same numbers on the appropriate
boxes. (Example: "2nd Fl./Room 4") If you're handy with a pencil, sketch a
sample layout of your house, number the rooms on it, and post the layout on
the truck for reference.
- Load the rooms to be unloaded
first—last. Whatever room is furthest from the entrance in your new home
should be that room. In other words, unload back to front. The kitchen should
be done at the very end though, because heavy appliances should go in the
truck first.
- Don't forget to have your tools
ready when you start unloading. You should put your tool box in when
everything else is loaded in the truck.
- Take all your valuable documents
and jewelry with you! Don't forget about your plants either. Most are too
sensitive to make a long journey in a hot, dark truck. If you can take them
with you too.
