Moving from a house that you have lived in for some time can be sad at times but can also be exciting. You get to start fresh in a new home usually in a new area. When you are moving to a new place, the move can still be exciting but there is an element of the unknown. Many people choose to uproot their life and move to a new part of the state for work, love and school to name the main few. Moving is hard enough now add that you may be in a city or area that you have never been before. You probably take advantage of knowing the closest store, gas station and doctor’s office. In a new place you need to learn these things over and find what you like and what there is to do. You can do some of the research before you arrive but sometimes getting there and talking to the people in your community is the better option. Having all these new things to think about can make packing and moving much more stressful. It is a good idea on the best way to pack when you are moving to a new home. Prodigy Moving & Storage offers helpful tips to pack like a pro.

What Do You Keep with You when You Move?

When you are moving long distance you know that all your belongings will be packed in boxes and taken to a truck. The moving truck will be packed with all your belongings and then trucked to your new location. This means that you need to get you and your vehicle there and that is why you want to start with your own box. There is always a box that should be packed with the things that you know you will need to have access to when you arrive or along the way. This box should be planned out and a list made so you don’t forget anything. This should have things like your toothbrush, medication, clothes that you want to use and any personal effects that are needed on a daily basis.

What to Take in Your Car when Moving?

The items that are being packed and boxed up should be labeled so that you know where they go when they get to your new house. The truck may or may not show up on the same day as you and you may not have time to go through boxes when you arrive. That is why you want to make sure that you label a few boxes that you want to have placed in your own vehicle for the journey. They can be items that you want to keep with you so that you can get to them when you arrive and over the first few days.

What Should I Leave Out when Moving?

Moving is something that takes a lot of planning and effort. That is why you want to make sure that you don’t take things with you that you are not going to use. A long distance move is a great time to reduce and donate items that you have not seen or know you will not have space for. This will help to ensure that what you do need is loaded on the truck.
