Please don't be naive, this is one of the easiest ways to get robbed of your hard earned money and belongings, so be very careful about what company you select.

You may want to shop around in advance for the best rates and specials if you've decided to move on your own. There is a possibility you can save some money if you have your own packing supplies and moving equipment. A lot of the truck rental companies may have low rates for their trucks, but high rates for moving and packing supplies. It would be a good idea to have at least a hand truck or dolly, furniture blankets and rope or straps you can lock down. Look over the truck to make sure it is in good condition before making your move.
For all the things you discover you don't need before your move it's time to get rid of. There's no better time to relinquish all of the excess items and obsolete electronics than while you're moving. Charities will often have drop off locations or pick up services to assist you. If you're not feeling charitable, than have a garage sale.
Keep the list of addresses and phone numbers you will need for your move close by and not packed away. It is a good idea to get in touch with your utility companies to transfer or turn off services, your home insurance provider, and the post office to forward old mail at this time.
It's time to leave! Moving day is usually spent at home. You will need to oversee the work of the moving company, so don't leave while they're present. When they have done their job they are required to present you with a bill of lading. The drivers should have a means of contacting you, so leave them a phone number. Before you leave for the last time, make sure all of the widows are closed and doors are locked. Wave to all of your neighbors and give them any unwanted unpacked items as a parting gift. Relax and think about the end of the journey.
