The process of packing is something that takes a fair amount of planning and organization. One area that you want to make sure that you know about is what you want to keep off the moving truck. There are things that you want to make sure that you pack and keep with you or replace when you arrive at your new house. Prodigy Moving & Storage outlines what to keep out of the moving truck.
Keep Flammables Off the Moving Truck
You want to make sure that as you go around the house and especially the garage you look for things that are flammable. The problem is that the truck will be packed and all your things will be loaded. The truck is not able to be kept at a particular temperature and that means that it can end up getting hot. If it gets too hot the flammable items can cause a major amount of damage. The best thing to do is to keep all of these things off the truck and replace them when you move. This will include gas, lighter fluid, propane tanks and more.
Keep Your Medications with You
The other thing that you want to keep out of the moving truck are the medications that you will need access to. Most people have a medicine cabinet that has things that they might need to get on an occasion. There are other medications that you need to take on a regular basis and should have with you when you move. This can be a box that you load with your personal belongings that you need to have access to.
Do Not Pack Perishable Foods
One area of the house that you likely start to pack last is the kitchen. You need to have access to the kitchen to eat until it is time to go. The food that you have in your cupboards and your fridge is something that you need to look into. The first thing that you need to do is to remove all the foods that are perishable. These are things that are in the fridge or things that are going to go bad after a short amount of time. Two hours is the maximum time perishable foods should be at room temperature. These foods can become dangerous to the rest of your belongings and can create a dangerous health risk.
