What to take and what not to take with you in the car

(3) Must Take Item Types
When moving locally or long distance with a professional moving company it is important to understand and appreciate what you should take with you in your own vehicle. Remember, you will be without your belongings for a few hours or a few days so plan ahead. Here are (3) item types we feel are essentials.

1. Items of Value. Always protect your valuables. These include jewelry, currency, laptop or tablet PCs, firearms, and important documents such as insurance policies, birth certificates, marriage certificate, tax returns, and your will. There may also be possessions like pictures and other small mementos with special value or significance. Make sure to consider these items when you are packing and preparing.

2. Items for Safety. Please stay safe. Pack a small medical kit, flashlight, water, and any prescription or over the counter medications you may need. Depending on planned accommodations, you may also want blankets. It is also a good idea to have roadside flares. It may sound old-fashioned, but a road map is still a good travel item if you are moving to someplace unfamiliar.

3. Items of Convenience. Make your trip more convenient and pleasant. Cash is king! Make sure you have some with you for smaller transactions or for areas that may not accept credit cards. Personal hygiene is another thing to consider, items like toothbrushes and toothpaste, paper towels, wet-wipes, and hand sanitizer can make you feel a bit more comfortable during a long drive or road trip. Furthermore, don’t forget about your pets! If traveling with pets have food in a plastic bag and a bowl for water.

The 1,2,3’s of Moving!

Moving is an exciting time in everyone’s life! Looking forward through the periscope of life can be exhilarating, and stressful all in one glance. At Father & Son Moving we understand this life changing experience and offer the following planning advice to alleviate some of the stress of moving.

1. Research is critical to any successful move. First you want to find out about the area in which you are moving to. Go online and investigate the city, town, or area by logging onto their visitor’s center website. This is an excellent resource to find out what is important in the eyes of the city’s administration. Travel sites are an excellent resource to look at all the new places you and your family can enjoy. Also, log on to the town’s government site and find out about the town’s school system, and town regulations. Make it a family activity to investigate your new hometown!

2. Selecting the Right Moving Company is critical as well. We want you to make sure that your prized possessions arrive safely. When looking for the right moving company many questions should be asked. How long has the company been in business? Is the company reputable? Does the company have references we may contact? Make sure that you trust and verify your moving company. Visit the Better Business Bureau (www.BBB.com) or check out Yelp (www.yelp.com) for consumer reviews.

3. Time to Clean out your Glory Days! Do you have boxes of stuff that you haven’t opened since the last move? If so, it’s time to donate it to a local Goodwill, Salvation Army, or charity. Moving is the ideal time for a “life clean” and the “18th Month Rule” is in effect – if you have not touched it in the last 18 months then it has to go! We also recommend that you review the furniture you’re taking. Will everything fit in the new place? Ask lots of questions and clean out your closets as it’s time to start fresh!
