Tip Of The Day

Claim a Good Parking Spot

By Robinson dos Santos|2020-03-06T06:39:42-07:00March 23rd, 2020|

When you are moving to or from a place located in a downtown area, parking can often be difficult to find. It becomes even more difficult when you are attempting to park a massive moving truck. In order to secure good parking close to your home, find an ideal spot (or multiple spots, depending on the size of the truck) and park your cars in these spots before the move. When the moving truck arrives, you can then move your personal vehicles out of the way and park the truck in their place. -- Photo Credit: Low Country Images, LLC

It’s Okay to Ask for Help

By Robinson dos Santos|2020-03-31T05:25:29-07:00March 2nd, 2020|

If you have a move coming up and there are a few pieces that you know you don’t want to move on your own, or even if you dread the idea of doing the entire move yourself, ask for help! Either ask friends/family to come help or find a local moving company to take care of the move for you. These things can help make moving day a much more pleasant and less stressful experience. -- Photo Credit: Low Country Images, LLC
