Most people aren’t used to driving large trucks such as the kind you rent for DIY moves, which means it’s very easy for people to cause damage with them. Using a moving company puts the driving in the hands of pros so you don’t have to worry about damage.

Remember to defrost your refrigerator at least a day before your move, and wipe up any liquid that has leaked out. This will save you from having a stinky wet mess when you get to your new home.

Be specific when packing and labeling your belongings. Describing box contents as stainless steel pans is better than writing misc. kitchen, and Ethan’s bedding is better than saying Ethan’s stuff.

Computers are one of the most important parts of modern offices, and unfortunately if there are any problems during the move there's a possibility for bigger problems later. Fortunately, office moving services are skilled at moving computers with no damage.

Save your dishes: Stack plates in boxes vertically, as you would record albums, to minimize the possibility of breakage. Make sure to label each box as fragile and add a This End Up arrow where it can be easily seen.

Ask yourself these questions as you sort through your belongings prior to moving: Have I used this item in the last year? Will I regret throwing this away? Does this hold priceless sentimental value? Your answers will determine which items go into your donate/sell or junk it piles.

You already know your customers will need to be aware of any office move you make, but the list doesn't stop there. Your suppliers and service providers will also need a heads up. Some may maintain a limited service area, too, which will result in your having to make a few changes after the move.

The evolution of global shipping is not just about how far cargo ships can go, but also about how far they have come. There are significantly more viable shipping routes now than there were a few centuries ago.

In any type of business relocation where there are employees involved, communication is critical. Once you have the move planned out, it’s recommended that you create a short written moving guide and distribute it among your employees.

On the day of the move, the driver will present you with a bill of lading, as required by law. This has the name of the mover, the dates of transport, the terms of the contract regarding payment, the amount due at delivery, and other vital information.

Freight assistance service providers are an important part of the global logistics landscape. They deliver a wide spectrum of specialized services such as transportation management, materials handling, and more.

To keep your boxes from busting open during a move, tape them along the seams where the flaps meet together, but then also tape it perpendicularly at the center of the first tape, forming a cross.

According to the Association of American Railroads (AAR), intermodal freight has grown rapidly over the past 20 years, and for many shippers, has been an on-ramp for an entire new world of business.
