Moving Day One-Page Cheatsheet
The ten things that matter most — print it and put it on the fridge
NASMM Certified · BBB A+ Rated · 30+ Years Experience
On moving day the details multiply and the patience shrinks. This is the short version: the ten items that keep the day from going sideways, plus the bag that must never leave your hands.
The ten things that matter most
- One person is in charge of the day — everyone else directs questions to them.
- The bed gets set up before anything else.
- The bathroom is usable before nightfall: toilet paper, towels, soap, nightlight.
- Medications travel with a person, never on the truck.
- Phones are charged and chargers are in the personal bag.
- Every box is labeled with a room, not a person.
- The truck is loaded last-in, first-out: first-night items come off first.
- Water, snacks, and a place to sit are set up before the truck arrives.
- Doors and elevators are propped and reserved in advance.
- Nobody unpacks boxes alone after dark.
The bag that stays with you
- All medications and a printed medication list
- Insurance cards, ID, and a small amount of cash
- Phone and charger
- Glasses, hearing aids, and spare batteries
- Toiletries and one change of clothes
- Keys to both homes
- The movers' paperwork and payment method
Before the truck leaves
- Every room, closet, cabinet, and outlet checked one last time.
- Photos taken of the empty home.
- Meter readings recorded.
- Keys handed over as agreed.
- A final count of boxes and furniture against the inventory.
