Moving Day Tips for Forest
A few simple steps help the crew work safely and keep your move on schedule.
- Clear the driveway. Move cars so the truck can park close to the door.
- Keep pets and children safe. A quiet room or a friend’s house keeps everyone away from open doors.
- Plan for weather. Have a backup plan for snow, ice or summer storms.
- Be there for the walkthrough. Show the crew lead what is going and what is fragile.
- Check every space. Look in closets, the attic, the garage and any sheds before the truck leaves.
