The following checklist is a handy tool to help you prepare for your move, and understand what you will need to know and do during each phase of your moving process. Print the checklist in a convenient format that includes space for your notes you or your movers may need.

The two different levels of liability movers are required to provide are explained below and in Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move,  a booklet movers are required by Federal regulations to provide to  interstate moving customers.
