Before a clean out – be a detective for your valuables!
*Go through all boxes, closets, shelves, any & all hiding places meticulously to secure all valuables. *Prevent throwing out that priceless photograph because it was in the coupon drawer. *Find another place to put it instead. & keep a record of where you put it next, storing it next to similar items – toasters next to pizza ovens, foods next to drinks, baseball trophies next to football flags & basketball jerseys, etc.
*Most importantly, be sure you have all valuable & important documents accounted for: tax returns, trusts, life insurance policies, real estate deeds, titles, obtain recent bank statements, wills, diplomas & receipts. The more, the better.
*Put aside enough time to go through pockets, drawers, old furniture – you will be glad you did! & it can definitely help you declutter in the long run as well. Keep all things neat & tidy here. & make a list of all things you wish to keep, all things you wish to sell or trade, & all things you wish to toss altogether – this will help you to be a far more meticulously organized individual, at the end of the day.
Moving down the street or across the country wasn't such an easy job, & often required hiring an expensive moving service! Before the 20th century all cargo, including from one house or office to another, was transported by trains, horses-drawn carriages or hand cart. Winton Motor Carriage Company was one of the first trucking companies to convert a car into a trailer in 1899.
By 1914 there was over 90,000 trucks on American roads, including moving box & flat trucks, but due to poor rural roads, solid rubber tires & a 15 miles per hour practical limit, this relegated trucks to mainly urban areas. By 2006 there were over 26 million trucks on American roads, hauling over 10 billion tons of freight daily. There are many TV shows about all the extreme conditions & crazy loads truckers find themselves confronting everyday in the United States.
Nowadays, if you want to move yourself, there are some options out there for the DIY mover. The top four moving truck rental companies in the United States are U-Haul, Budget, Penske & Enterprise. Each offering customers a small difference with both cost & options to suit your needs.
A large & well known provider or DIY moving truck & moving trailer rentals, U-Haul was co-founded by the Shoen family in Ridgefield, Washington in 1945, with an investment of $5000. By 1955 over 10,000 U-Haul trailers helped American's move their homes & offices nationwide. Their fleet contains an assortment of hauling vehicles & trailers including: trucks, trailers, auto-transports & various heavier equipment types for tougher jobs.
