Which Items Stay with You
Moving can be a bit of a puzzle – deciding what stuff goes in your car and what rides in the moving truck. You've got your moving company or rented truck handling the heavy lifting, but there are some things you should definitely keep with you for practical reasons. Let's break down the game plan – the stuff that should ride shotgun with you during your move.The MVP: The "Open-First Box"
Meet your moving day MVP – the "open-first box." This is like your survival kit for the first night in your new place. It's got your sheets, lightbulbs, toiletries, and a couple of dishes. Throw this box in your car so you can easily grab what you need right away and be prepared in case anything funky happens with the moving truck.
Party Patrol: Alcohol Edition
Check out your moving contract to see if there are any rules about moving booze. Most moving companies don't have the special license needed for moving alcohol, so your favorite drinks should ride shotgun with you. Just make sure to check local rules – open bottles usually need to go in the trunk, while unopened ones can chill in the back seat.
Handle with Care: No Explosions Allowed
There are some items that movers won't touch with a ten-foot pole, like anything flammable or explosive. Guns, cleaning stuff, paint – anything that could go boom or catch fire. Trying to sneak these onto the truck can get you in serious trouble, so it's better to play it safe and keep them in your car.
Special Guests: Plants, Pets, and Snacks
Plants, pets, and anything that needs to stay cold or frozen – they're like the VIPs of your move. Most moving companies won't handle them, so they get a special invite to ride with you. Keep an eye on them to make sure they're good throughout the trip.
Treasure Alert: Valuables Stay Close
Anything super valuable or sentimental should be in the car with you. Think jewelry, family heirlooms, and anything that you'd hate to lose. They're less likely to disappear or get damaged if they're riding shotgun with you.
Read the Playbook: Your Movers' Contract
Before you start packing, give your movers' contract a read. It's like the playbook for your move, telling you what they can and can't take. Local laws and their own rules will be in there. Checking it out helps you decide what's in the car and what goes in our vehicle.
In a nutshell, the stuff that needs your personal touch during the move should stay close to you - in the trunk. So, pack smart, keep the essentials close, and roll into your new place like a pro.
