What Not to Pack in the Moving Truck
Hiring movers makes your relocation easier because you don’t have to worry about renting and driving a truck, or performing the arduous labor of loading all your boxes and furniture onto the truck. But while you are packing up in preparation for your move, you may come across some items that you are not sure should go in the moving truck. There are some items that movers will not transport on their truck, and other items that, while the movers will take them, are better off being transported by you.
Items a Moving Company Will Not Move
Hazardous or potentially dangerous items that a moving company will not move include:
- Flammable or corrosive substances, such as gasoline, kerosene, bleach, and ammonia
- Ammunition
- Live animals
Items You Should Take With You
While you could place these items in a box and have them transported on the moving truck, it is highly advisable to keep the following types of items with you so that you can ensure their wellbeing and have immediate access to them should you need them:
- Laptop computers
- Important documents, such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and property deeds
- Sentimental items, such as wedding albums or personal video tapes
- Jewelry
- Medicine
