Safety is a top priority, and certain items are prohibited from being loaded onto moving trucks due to safety risks and legal restrictions. These include:
Firearms and ammunition, consider using a licensed firearms dealer to ensure safe and legal transportation.
Items with significant monetary or sentimental value, such as antique furniture, should be transported personally. Ensure these items are listed on a “high-value inventory form” to avoid issues with claims.
Documents containing sensitive information, such as social security numbers or financial records, should remain with you during the move. Examples include:
Pets should travel with you or through a professional pet mover. Moving can be stressful for pets, and a moving truck is not a suitable environment.
Plants should be transported personally or given away. Some states have laws prohibiting the transport of houseplants, and moving trucks are not ideal environments for plant survival.
While some non-perishable foods can be transported, fresh or frozen items should be consumed before moving day or donated to avoid spoilage and mess.
