Before
Your Move Date:
Make sure that you have the proper amount of parking space for the 28ft
trailer. The trailer requires 14 feet of overhead clearance (make sure
there are no low hanging wires or limbs). The trailer is 8ft wide, 9ft
tall and approximately 42" to 45" off the ground.
Check with
local parking authorities or enforcement agencies to make sure that
you can legally park the trailer at the location - or obtain the proper
parking permits, if necessary.
Make sure
you have enough boxes, paper and tape to complete your packing. You
do not want to be running around on the day of loading trying to box
and tape your shipment. This creates confusion and poor packing habits.
Expect a call
from SelfMoves one [1] business day before the trailer is to be dropped.
An estimated window-time will be provided - but due to the complexity
of schedules, you must be available all day to accept delivery of the
trailer. The window-time is only provided as a courtesy and not a guarantee
of time.
If you plan
on using laborers, allow time for the arrival of the trailer. It is
highly recommended that you have your trailer dropped the day before
you labor/loaders are scheduled.

on moving reminders.
