Packing for a moveBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

Congrats, you're the intelligent person who booked your moving company in Denver in advance, walked through your home along with a moving company representative to determine how many moving trucks and staff you will need, and neatly packed and labeled your boxes.

Fill an additional cup of joe if you have to, but when you arrive at the portion regarding what the movers in Denver can't place on the truck, odds are really good that contract is going to have your undivided attention.

Which of these is NOT allowed on a moving van? Are any of these illegal for the team to load and move, or is it simply company policy? The answer is a very uncomplicated, it depends.

· Yucca Plant

· Lawnmower

· Fireworks

· Cash

The one thing in the above list that may go on the moving truck is the lawn mower--if the gas and oil tanks have already been emptied. Houseplants usually cannot cross state lines--this is a legal issue--and moving companies in Denver don't want any pests currently in leaves or the soil jumping ship into the moving van itself.

Fireworks are not allowed.

Moving companies aren't going to be liable for valuables on the moving truck. Your homeowner’s insurance coverage could handle any material losses, but most likely will not replace misplaced cash. Take it to the bank and get it as soon as you are settled or take it with you.

And in case you think several bottles of nail polish and remover along with a chemistry set won't pack enough of a wallop to make any difference, you are mistaken. So DO NOT pack the examples below.
