Load Boxes in the Truck
If you’re renting a moving truck, instead of hiring movers, make sure you know how to load the boxes on the truck to prevent any breakage.
Boxes marked as fragile should be packed on the floor of the truck rather than high on top of other items. You should pack fragile boxes beneath large pieces of furniture such as desks or tables or secure them in cabinets whose doors you can fasten closed. This way boxes won’t shift during the move.
Additional Packing Tips
Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top.If you don’t have a lot of packing paper or bubble wrap, use linens or towels as cushioning.The box you use shouldn’t be too big. Remember, the maximum weight should be 50 lbs maximum.
