Think ahead.
Packing a moving truck is often compared to a game of Tetris. The goal is to fill leave very few open holes in order to pack your items securely and avoid having to make additional trips — or leave something behind.
Get prepared with the proper moving supplies.
Purchase several moving boxes of the same size to make stacking in the moving truck easier. If renting a truck, ask about renting appliance dollies and moving blankets to help protect your furniture. You’ll be glad you took the time to have the right packing supplies on hand on moving day.
Load the heaviest items onto the moving truck first.
Major appliances and your largest pieces of furniture should go into the moving truck first and be packed tightly against the back wall. Place moving blankets or pads on top of and between the appliances to avoid dents and scratches. Moving boxes can be stacked on top of appliances to fill additional space.
Stack same-size moving boxes from left to right.
Using same-sized moving boxes will allow you to make stable, secure stacks. Make sure you’ve labeled any boxes containing fragile items and place those boxes at the top of your stacks.
