Prep Both Driveways and Walkways
Shovel and salt the path from the front door to where the truck will park at both the origin and destination. A clear, dry path protects the crew and keeps furniture from getting wet.
Protect Floors From Slush
Ask the crew about floor runners or plan to lay down old rugs or cardboard along the main walking path so melting snow does not soak your floors.
Watch Out for Cold-Sensitive Items
Electronics, musical instruments, and liquids that could freeze deserve extra attention. Let electronics warm up to room temperature for a few hours after arrival before powering them on.
Plan for Shorter Daylight
In deep winter, an afternoon start can end in the dark. Confirm exterior lighting at the destination and consider morning slots when possible.
