As a city dweller, let me tell you something -- city streets and alleys were most certainly not designed for 26' moving trucks! And I think it would be quite the challenge to try and parallel park one of those bad boys as well. That's why it's recommended that you use...
A dream, a destination, the open road and a moving truck. You're behind the wheel on your way to your new home with all of your belongings when you remember you forgot some vital things. Do you drive back? Do you find the nearest store? Here are some essential items...
"Hmm...maybe it could go here. Or here, or wait better yet here!" Sound familiar? I know for myself that when I'm moving, one of my biggest challenges is deciding how I'm going to arrange everything in my new home. Whether we think about it when we're in the moving...
The day has come when your current living situation is no longer working. Perhaps you have lost your job, or perhaps you’ve taken a new job in a different state. Maybe you are getting a divorce, or perhaps you are getting married. Whatever the case may be, there are...
I'll never forget how excited I was when I found out that I had been offered a short term position in one of the largest cities in the country. The capitol of our nation, Washington DC, was about to be my new home in just a few short weeks. The only problem was that I...

As a kid, moving was often something I looked forward to. I was able to participate in all the "fun" activities (taping boxes, writing labels with colorful permanent markers, pretending my books were Tetris pieces while packing them), while avoiding the less than...
You've been friends. You've dated. Now, you're ready to—gulp—move in together. Cohabiting is a big step. It might not seem like it since you've probably spent the majority of your time at one or the other person's home. But, joining your living arrangements can create...
Let's face it, no one wants to spend any more time than they have to moving. Between loading delays and traffic jams, you can spend a lot of time waiting around instead of out on the open road! Thankfully, most of these delays can be avoided or mitigated with just a...
