FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions What is a short haul move? This is a move that is less than 450 miles. Make sure to inquire with your moving company as you may have to pay long distance charges even for short haul moves. What is a local move? This usually refers to moves that are less than 100 miles and within the same state. What is an intrastate move? This refers to a move of more than 100 miles within the same state. What items should I move myself if I have time before the move? We recommend that you focus on packing and moving any highly breakable objects such as pictures and collectibles as well as very sentimental items. What is a bulkhead? This is a divider or partition that separates your items from the rest of the trailer or moving truck. What should I do with the food in my fridge? You must empty your refrigerator before moving it, so we recommend transporting your food and other perishables in a cooler during your move. Why is there no phone number on your site? We gather the information you provide and send it to several different moving companies. It is an automated system and to continue to keep it optimal, quick and free of charge, the overhead of a call center is not a priority for MovingTruckService.com at this time. We would like feedback on the above decision if you would like to share. Will my movers clean my home once my move is complete? Most professional movers will clean up any mess they have made during the actual move. However, they don’t perform general house cleaning so you must hire a professional cleaning service or perform this task yourself. What is a flight charge? This is an extra charge for carrying items up or down flights of stairs. What are “extraordinary value” items? In the moving industry, these items are ones that have a value of more than $100 per pound. You must list all of these items on the inventory form your moving company will provide. What is long carry? You may be charged an additional fee if the moving van can’t come within a certain distance from the entrance of your destination. This is generally 75 feet, but you need to check with your particular moving company. What is a Bill of Lading? This is an official contract between you and your moving company. Do you have any tips to help my move go more smoothly? We suggest making a detailed checklist of all the tasks you need to complete before your move. Separate the checklist into things to take care of a few months before the move, 1 month before, 1 week before and then on your actual moving day. A checklist will minimize the risk of you forgetting to take care of an important detail. |
