Tip 3: Empty is faster.
A little prep the day before makes moving day feel easy.
If you can, empty the fridge and freezer the day before and give them time to defrost. A fridge that travels empty is lighter, drier, and much quicker to load, with no puddles in the truck.
Dressers are the same story. Clothes travel best in bags or boxes, and an empty dresser is lighter, sturdier, and faster through doorways and up stairs. Full drawers have a habit of sticking, shifting, and cracking on the road.
