The Essential Trip Kit For Moving

A pleasant household move involves more than entrusting personal possessions to a reputable, professional mover; it also means planning for personal comfort and safety during the trip to the new home, if you are moving across the country.

We recommend putting aside essential articles in a “trip kit”. The kit, usually made of a moving box small enough for a family to take with them to their new home, acts as a collection point for important papers and necessary items that should not be boxed up during the busy sorting and packing process.

We suggest including the following items in the “trip kit”:

  • First-aid kit
  • Soap
  • Toys/books/special items for children
  • Travel alarm clock
  • Sufficient cash
  • Credit cards
  • Check book
  • Cell phone
  • Flashlight (check batteries)
  • Keys to both old and new house
  • Paper plates
  • Plastic silverware
  • Snacks
  • Bottled water
  • Disposable cups
  • Paper towels
  • Pet food/dishes
  • Wash cloths
  • Identification cards
  • Hammer
  • Pliers
  • Wrench
  • Screwdrivers

    Just wanted to express our appreciation for such a pleasant moving experience! Since we hadn’t ever done this before, we were apprehensive. But from the very first phone contact, through Ron’s two site visits, continuing with the packing, loading, and unloading, everything went so smoothly, we are very impressed! Let each individual, who was involved with our move, know how satisfied we are and they are to be commended for their jobs they did.
