  • Get at least three written estimates from movers with a USDOT number.
  • Decide what to sell or donate before the survey; you pay by weight.
  • Update your address, transfer utilities and plan the vehicle registration and driver license change.
  • Move medical, school and financial records yourself, not in the truck.
  • Plan the first week: keys, parking for the truck and an essentials box.
