To continue our series on tips for moving throughout the country and Charlotte, we have compiled a list of our top moving tips that will help you out when choosing Charlotte movers or moving yourself.


    * Move on a weekday when banks, utilities and government offices are open. U-Haul locations also offer a lower per mile rate on weekdays.

    * If you're moving locally, leave the power and water on at your old address a few extra days so you can go back and clean up after your move.

    * Purchase boxes and moving supplies 2-4 weeks before your move.

    * Choose a "packing room" ahead of time and box up a few things each day.

    * Use moving labels to mark each box with its contents and destination room.

    * To save time, rent a carpet cleaner at the same time you rent your truck.

    * If moving locally, leave your pets with a friend on moving day. Animals can become confused and frightened during a move.

    * Allow for extra braking room when driving a moving truck. Anticipate stops and allow a 3-second gap between you and the vehicle in front of you.
