ULTIMATE MOVING GUIDE
ULTIMATE MOVING GUIDE FROM MY MILLIONAIRE MOVERS
You’re moving up in the world. Big changes are on the horizon, whether to a larger house in the same town, a new home across the country, a first-time college experience, or a better office building across your city. There’s a lot to be excited about but also a lot to do.
At Utah’s Moving and Storage, we’re here to help with our comprehensive Moving Guide. We’ve been in the moving business for years. It started as a college job, but as we saw problems in the moving industry and ways to solve them, the job went from collegiate employment to a calling.
In our years in the field, we’ve learned a great deal. This guide is our way of sharing that hard-earned knowledge with you to make your move as smooth as possible. The guide includes advice on residential, commercial, and long distance moves. It also offers tips to help you with packing and a checklist for moving week and moving day.
Congratulations on the significant changes in your life. We’re pleased to make them a little easier with our six-part Moving Guide.

PREPARING FOR A RESIDENTIAL MOVE
The closer you get to moving day, the more hectic life becomes. Moving throws you out of the rhythm of the life you’ve established, leaving you stuck between your old routine and images of the future.
PREPARING FOR A LONG-DISTANCE MOVE
You are uprooting your world, heading across the country for a new life. You probably feel some excitement. You may also have a fluttering, uneasy feeling in your gut. That’s perfectly understandable.
PREPARING TO MOVE COMPANY OFFICES
Your business is on the move. Relocating or expanding your company is a massive step in your life as a business leader. You’ve got those first-day-of-school feelings: our world is full of possibilities and new beginnings.
Packing
PACKING SUPPLIES AND ADVICE
The right packing materials, combined with proper packing and loading techniques, will protect your items during transport and speed up the process of settling into your new home or office.

Prepairing For A Residential Move
A CHECKLIST FROM A PROFESSIONAL RESIDENTIAL MOVING
The closer you get to moving day, the more hectic life becomes. Moving throws you out of the rhythm of the life you’ve established, leaving you stuck between your old routine and images of the future.
You want to be able to concentrate on enjoying going-away lunches with old friends and figuring out how to get connected in your new area. Hopefully, you’ll have some time left over to pack your car, research music programs for your kids, and cancel your water and sewage service. That means whatever you can do early in the process is one less thing that has to happen at the last minute.
If your move is still months away, it may feel like there’s not much you can do to prepare. But the sooner you start, the better. Even if the move is six months or a year away, you can take steps now to ease the burden later. When half your possessions are already in boxes, and you can’t find a towel to dry yourself off after the shower, the less stress you pile on, the better. Realizing as you stand there dripping that you forgot to cancel next week’s gardening service will be a wet blanket on your excitement about the transition.
If all this sounds a bit terrifying, we have some good news: it doesn’t have to end up that way. Here are some steps you can take to simplify and streamline your residential move.
Prepairing For A Long Distance Move
A CHECKLIST FROM A LONG DISTANCE MOVING COMPANY
You are uprooting your world, heading across the country for a new life. You probably feel some excitement. You may also have a fluttering, uneasy feeling in your gut. Maybe it’s because you ate some questionable oysters last night. But more likely, it’s anxiety about your big move. That’s perfectly understandable.
This move is a big transition. On top of that, a long-distance move is a complex logistical ballet. Thankfully, you don’t have to figure out how to choreograph, stage, and conduct the entire production on your own. We have tips on preparing for a long-distance move to help you feel better prepared and more in control.
Prepairing To Move Company Offices
A CHECKLIST FROM A MOVING COMPANY OFFICES
Your business is on the move. Relocating or expanding your company is a massive step in your life as a business leader. You’ve got those first-day-of-school feelings: our world is full of possibilities and new beginnings. But your new office is empty. It can’t become a thriving, bustling hub of industry and income until it has some furniture. And a picture or two on the wall would be nice, too.
So, how do you turn an empty cavern into your new business location? You may be sitting at your desk in the old office, thinking, “I’m preparing to move my company, but how on earth do I do that?” We are here to help.
Packing Supplies and Advice
PACKING SUPPLIES FROM A PROFESSIONAL PACKING SERVICE COMPANY
The right packing materials, combined with proper packing and loading techniques, will protect your items during transport and speed up the process of settling into your new home or office. Every move will go smoother when you have the right supplies.
But what supplies do you need? How much do you need? And where do you get them (without spending a fortune)? We’re here to answer those questions so you can protect your stuff, your sanity, and your savings on your moving journey.

Moving Week Check List
MOVING WEEK CHECKLIST FROM A PROFESSIONAL MOVING COMPANY
The countdown echoes ominously in your brain like the disembodied voice from a NASA control tower: seven… six… five…. You have seven days until the truck lands at your doorstep and your sanity departs. At least, that’s how it feels if you are entering the last week of move arrangements under-prepared.
Yes, there’s much to do, but this is not an impossible goal. You aren’t trying to get a space vehicle to Mars; you just want to get yourself and your belongings to your new, earthbound home. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to manage a move, but you need to be on top of your to-do list, especially as you enter the final countdown.
