If you have hired a professional moving company to help you with the move, you'll want to do a few things to keep everything organized. Moving can be hectic enough, and you keep track of all of your items, and make unpacking easy.

If you are going to pack the items on your own, you can have everything ready for when the moving truck arrives. Here are a few things that you'll want to consider, so you are easily able to locate your belongings at the other end of the move.

Inventory

Take inventory of important items before, or as you start putting things away in boxes. Make a list of how many boxes were packed for each room in the home, and all large miscellaneous items. This way you can easily do a quick check when you get into your new living space, to make sure everything is accounted for. You also want to have the moving company account for the items on your list, and sign it, stating that they are now accountable for the items during transport.

Label Boxes Appropriately 

Do you know what rooms will be used for what in the new house? If so, you can label the boxes so the movers can put them in the correct places. You can write what room each box belongs in when you pack them, and put a room number on each box for the new space. Make notes for the movers or put up small signs so everything is sorted when you get there. 

Transport Valuables 

If you have some expensive jewelry or family heirlooms, or items that will worry you during transport, take them in your own vehicle. This will give you piece of mind during the move, and you will know where to find them when you need them.

Talk with the movers about their insurance, to see if their policy is large enough to cover all of the items you have. You don't want to find out after an accident that the moving company can't pay to replace all of your things. If the moving company requires that you pay a deposit, ask if this is applied to your total bill, and if there are any ways you could potentially lose your deposit. Moving with the help of experts at places like Midway Moving & Storage makes things easier, and taking the time to organize your belongings saves a lot of time.
