Moving your house is a complex process that requires careful planning and preparation. It is essential to know what items cannot be put on a moving truck in order to ensure the safety of your belongings and the environment. Aerosols, ammunition and guns, charcoal, cleaners containing bleach or ammonia, fertilizers, lighter fluid, nail polish remover, oil or gas of any kind are all items that should not be put on a moving truck. Perishable items such as food, plants and animals should also not be put on a moving truck.
This is especially true for long-distance moves. Hazardous materials such as physical, chemical or biological items should also not be put on a moving truck as they can cause injury or damage to people, animals or the environment. It is important to read up on the regulations for the safe transportation of hazardous materials before packing. Lawn mower, chainsaw, weed trimmer and other items with gasoline and oil must be drained of all flammable liquids before moving.
Cleanliness, beauty and potentially flammable items should also not be packed when you move in. Valuables such as documents from your insurance company or healthcare provider, your personal identification, and all documents associated with your move should not be put on a moving truck. Instead, it is best to transport them yourself during or after moving day. Moving companies can provide you with an important checklist of items they won't move.
It is important to adhere to this checklist in order to ensure a safe and successful move. To keep your most precious belongings safe, it's a good idea not to pack sentimental and valuable items in the moving truck.
