packing a moving truck
is easier with a good plan follow these
steps to get your belongings safely to
your new home
here's what you'll need
choosing the right size truck so you
only make one trip
will save you money on mileage gas and
labor
estimate about 200 cubic feet of truck
space per room you're moving
gather the right supplies to make
packing easier
loosely group packed belongings based on
size as you pack
loading the truck is easier if items are
small and compact
so take apart large furniture like
headboards and bed frames
remove legs from dressers dining tables
and bookcases
roll up area rugs face down to avoid
damage to the backing
then wrap in plastic wrap
before you begin enlist the right amount
of help
typically two people can load a
two-bedroom apartment in three hours
divide the moving truck into three
sections
start at the back with large and heavier
items
furniture like dressers couches
appliances and other large items
should be placed against the back wall
of the truck
the middle zone is for medium-sized
boxes
with heavier ones on the bottom and
light ones on the top
place rolled rugs upright between boxes
to save space
the last section is for small and
lightweight items
place dishes artwork and mirrors closest
to the door
use tie down straps to minimize shifting
in transit
good luck and thanks for shopping at the
home depot
