Moving Tip: 11 of 12

***Tip 11***

Maps are your BEST Friend!

If you have not noticed yet, planning is KEY in any move. Whether you are moving across town, state, or the county, you need to plan out the route you will take. Be mindful of construction on the roads (if local) and toll booths (if long distance). Plan your route accordingly. If you are driving the moving truck by yourself, you will need to know what way to go. Try to avoid hills as they are harder on the trucks and will eat more gas. You may add a few hours to the trip, but it will keep your gas budget within reason. Also, think about the times that you will be going through major cities. If it is close to rush hour near a place like Washington DC, avoid that at all cost or try and head out earlier to get ahead of the traffic. Keep that map on you during the move in case you need to re-route.
