Arranging Your Move

First of all, moving day will actually be a couple of days. Travel distance between the two cities is 1,847 miles via I-10 and I-20 with an estimated travel time of 26 hours.

Both budget considerations and time management are important as you plan. Here are some things to consider:

• What is the cost of the actual mover and when they expect to get paid?
• Will it be more feasible to get the mover to pack our possessions?
• What plans should we make for the week before the move (food prep, clothes/laundry, work)?
• How much time should I allow for the move to ensure that we’re ready for our first day of work at our new jobs?
• What if we have too much “stuff?”
