Moving Your Family, Your Home, Your Life

If you are moving your family and possessions across North Carolina, the Country or around the World you are not alone. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2018 over 35 million people moved in the United States.  For the most part, 62% of movers still lived in the same county after their move as they did before it, while 34% of movers moved to a different county, state or country. Leading the list of states where movers left, were Illinois, Arkansas, New Jersey and New York and the top state where more people moved in than moved out was Idaho. North Carolina was 7th on the list of states where more people moving in than out. To put this in proper perspective, the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA) identified that for every 3 million moves occurring, experienced professional moving companies were involved roughly 22% of the time with consumers renting trucks 33% and unassisted consumers represented 34% of movers. Another interesting statistic, again conducted by the AMAS, involved who is actually paying for the movement of these household shipments moved by Professional Moving Companies. Of moves conducted by professionals, 43% were paid for by the consumers themselves, while 40% were sponsored by corporations, 16% were military and 1% were paid for by a federal agency.

So, what does separate one moving company from another? What are the important features one should consider when choosing a Professional Mover that takes control of your family’s lifetime possessions? At Tru-Pak Moving Systems we are a family business in the business of moving your family. We understand that moving across town or across the nation can be a very stressful, life-altering event that should not be left up to just any mover. Hiring the right mover means having an efficient, hassle and damaged-free experience. Since our company was founded by my father in 1960, many things have changed in the moving industry, some for the better, some not. Unfortunately, it seems all too often many moving companies are started with a couple of strong backs, a dolly and a rental truck, taking possession of the items most families hold dear.  Your belongings, heirlooms, and memories should not be entrusted to just anybody. It takes professional judgment, experience, organized processes, and a working staff to inventory, secure, pack, load, ship and deliver damage-free products, initiated with many safeguards other companies don’t even consider. That is the Tru-Pak difference. We are a licensed, bonded and insured independent agent for United Van Lines.

Residential Moving Checklist and Schedule

At Tru-Pak Moving Systems we recommend that all our residential customers take the time to adhere to a Moving Timetable for making their move easier and stress-free. Below are the timeframes and scheduled tasks we recommend in chronological order.

2-3 Months Prior

  1. Create an inventory notebook so you can collect all of the pertinent data you will retain during the move.
  2. Start cleaning out any of your unwanted items. Consider having a garage sale on the first available Saturday. Donate what you can.
  3. Survey each room and create an inventory of what will be moved room by room.
  4. If you are shipping important documents make an inventory and copy what can not be replaced if lost or stolen. Create a file and pack in a unique, special box so that you can easily add to it as you start to pack.
  5. Call Tru-Pak Moving Systems for a free, no-obligation quote.

1-1.5 Months Prior

  1. Decide on the Moving Company you wish to choose and schedule your moving dates.
  2. Make all of your travel arrangements, flights, car rentals, hotels etc...for the trip.
  3. Purchase all of the packing supplies you will need to complete the move.
  4. Contact your local utility, security and cable providers to set up disconnecting dates.

  7. Make sure you have all the medications you take filled for your journey and one month’s supply for where you are going.
  8. Inform all of your friends and relatives about your change of address and expected moving timeframes and move-in date.

2 Weeks Prior

  1. Confirm all of the dates you are adhering to and any changes that might take place and include all service providers, moving company etc...
  2. Inform the U.S. Postal Service about a change of address and a forwarding address for mail.
  3. Make sure any important vendors know about your upcoming move.
  4. Most importantly. Start to Pack if you haven’t already started. In large households, we recommend packing as early as 4 weeks out. Your packing should be completed at least 1 week from your moving date if not sooner.
  5. We recommend a walk-through of your new dwelling to ensure everything is ready for the move-in to take place if possible.

1 Week Prior

  1. Pack personal items that will accompany you on the move.
  2. Inventory all keys and any devices like a garage door or electric window shade operators.
  3. Make sure your car is serviced for the upcoming trip.
  4. Staging the move if possible. We recommend staging the packed boxes in an area for easy transport. This frees up space in other rooms for cleaning.
  5. Make sure you are marking/designating each packed box for contents and room assignments.
  6. Schedule a cleaning service to come in and clean once the house is vacated.
  7. Make sure you have the phone, email and contact list of everyone you might need during the move.

  2. You will be provided with a moving inventory, put it in your moving notebook.
  3. Perform a final walk through after the movers have emptied the dwelling just to make sure you have not left anything.
