Keeping Busy While Movers Are Hard at Work

You have crossed all the I’s and dotted all the T’s, and it is finally moving day. Your local movers are ready to begin their services, and you are wondering what to do while everything is being loaded up on the truck. Contrary to popular belief, there is a lot of side tasks that you could be doing to make this process run smoother, and we are here to give you the insights so that nothing slips through the cracks.

Complete Any Packing Left

When the movers arrive, they will set up a game plan on what needs to be tackled first and which items will need to go on the truck first. It will be a combination of the bigger items along with sturdy boxes to fill up the small gaps. Labeling all boxes ahead of time will help this process run smoother so that you can stay out of the mover’s way when they are providing their moving services. If you have any leftover packing that was not completed before the movers arrived, let them know which items they should hold off on taking to the truck while you finish packing them up. This will keep you out of the mover’s way when they are taking things out of other rooms, and it will keep you occupied to pass the time while everything else is being loaded up.

Load Fragile Items in Your Vehicle

A best practice for any move is to load as many fragile items in your vehicle as you can. Moving services will be happy to load these items in the truck and put them in the best position possible so that no harm comes to them. However, if you have room in your personal vehicle to load any items, it is best to load as many fragile items in there so that the worry of anything being damaged during the move is eliminated.

Let the Movers Do Their Job

This is probably the best piece of advice for when your movers arrive on the site. As long as you have done your due diligence and hired reputable local movers, they will be able to handle everything for you. If you have any questions for them about what you should take in your own vehicle, ask and they can give you a good idea of what items should be taken with you. Other than that, they will be able to take care of everything else for you and don’t forget to take care of your movers. Offering refreshments will keep you busy and out of the way while also reenergizing your professionals to tackle the job at full strength. They will appreciate your hospitality while moving your personal belongings. Moving day is always an exciting time for both you and your movers. Moving is a team effort, and it takes both parties to make each move a successful one.
