The above scenario may not be the budget-friendly move that will work for you. So you decide to rent from Enterprise and do the complete move yourself, and obviously some friends and family. As it has been mentioned planning and organization are the keys to moving. It will be in your best interest to pick up your moving truck the day prior to your move. Now that you have rented a truck to load yourself, make sure you have the additional items to move. It is important you know who will be driving the truck, to your new residence, will it be you or another adult. On the Enterprise website, their 24’ and 26’ trucks have seating for three passengers. Make sure you have the equipment to help load the heavy things, like a two-wheeler, and make sure you are aware of how to use their tuck under the liftgate if they are on the truck you rented.

The professional movers or family and friends have finished packing in the last load of your belongings on the truck. They are ready to roll. You have packed your last-day box and a first-day box, which will be used at your new place, in your vehicle, and the valuable belongings that you do not want to go on the moving truck. As the moving truck begins to pull away, you will need to make another run through your old residence and make sure there is nothing that the movers overlooked or anything you may have left behind. Now say your final goodbye and hit the road to your new residence.
If you hire professional movers, such as Mayflower they will unload your boxes, place them in the rooms, according to the labels on the boxes, customarily help you set up beds, and put the heavy furniture where you ask them. When they have emptied the truck, they will check the moving list they filled out when they loaded you at your previous home. This is for verification that they got everything moved and off the truck, and will give you a clear mind that you got all of your items and nothing got left behind, stolen, or lost.
If family and friends help you unload the moving truck you will know what is unloaded and if you got all of your things, by checking your moving list, that you should have created when loading your items. Once all items are unloaded and the truck is empty, take a breath. The big heavy of the move is now behind you and the unpacking season is upon you.
Welcome to new beginnings.
