Moving can be a very emotional experience... It can also be a growing experience.

Q. What is the best way to prepare children for a move or relocation?
A. While there are as many answers to this question as there are children, here are some general tips provided by experts:

• Talk to your children freely and often about the move and what it will mean to their lives.
• Keep your normal routine as much as possible.
• Keep familiar items (toys, books, blankets, teddy bears etc.) out in the open and available. Don't pack the pacifier!
• If possible take your children to your new community before the move to acquaint them with their new surroundings.
• Above all, listen to what your children have to say, and keep that communication open and honest.

Q.Why do movers sometimes put more than one household on a trailer?
A. In order to keep cost down for you. The Average Trailer holds from 18,000 to 24,000 pounds - the equivalent of 3 to 4 households.

Q. Can you transport our pets and plants to our new home?
A. The Interstate Commerce Commission allows us to move plants if the trip is less than 150 miles and under 24 hours.

However some states may want to quarantine them anyway. In the event that this should happen we won't be able to ensure their proper care, and unfortunately, cannot be held responsible for their final condition.

The ICC also prohibits moving companies from shipping animals in moving vans. If your pets and plants can't travel with you, ask us about helping you making arrangements for them to be safely transported to your new home. Ideally both travel better in your own car.

Q. How can I reduce the cost of my relocation?
A. Anything you don't need - sell! A "moving sale" can help reduce the cost and put some money in your pocket at the same time!
