| 10 Tips for Self Service Move |
|
|
- In a self service move you do the packing and hand the transportation business to the self service movers.
- Prefer this move only if the load is small and manageable and the distance between original location and the destination is reasonable.
- For this move first acquire packing materials like moving boxes, moving kits, special boxes to pack glass items, different types of packing wrappers and other packing accessories like tapes, markers, labels, twine etc.
- After acquiring the packing material pack the goods carefully. Wrap the goods with packing wrappers for better protection. For glass and breakable items use special boxes and special wrappers so that they will not be damaged during transportation.
- After packing each box, make sure that you write the names of the articles on the box so that it will be easy while unpacking.
- Now arrange for a crew of people to load and unload the goods. Some time the loading and the unloading is done by the crew provided by the truck provider.
- Do not rent a truck that is too small or too large for the goods to be moved. A smaller one damages the goods because the goods must be adjusted in the little space and the larger one moves the goods here and there which will also damage the goods.
- Be present when the loading and unloading is done .You can be sure that the process is taking place smoothly.
- Make sure that the truck driver possesses the needed truck driving license that is accepted by both jurisdictions of the original location and the destination. Also check whether the truck has proper carrier license and documents.
- Once you are confident, you can proceed with the move.
