Pandemic Procedures Protect Your Move

A move across country is a high-contact activity. Interstate movers must lift furniture, pack boxes and transport belongings.

In plain language: These relocation pros will have to touch your belongings.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea of a moving crew showing up at your home might seem at odds with shelter-at-home orders and social-distancing guidelines. In reality, it’s probably just the opposite. Hiring an interstate mover lessens your contact with others and helps safeguard you and your family.

How can that be possible?

Safe and sound

A DIY move forces you to personally purchase packing paper, buy boxes and rent a truck. These activities increase the chances you’ll encounter contagious individuals and COVID-contaminated materials. Plus, you risk passing that exposure to friends and family who want to help you move for just the price of pizza and beverages.

But if you hire a member of the National Van Lines family of interstate-moving agents, you not only lessen your physical burden, you leave packing, loading and unloading to relocation professionals trained to wear masks, use gloves, practice state-of-the-art hygiene and properly store materials, such as cardboard shipping boxes (capable of carrying coronavirus contamination for up to 24 hours).

Safely tucked away in your home until moving day, you’ve protected yourself and your family from unneeded pandemic risk. The same goes for our vehicle-relocation procedures.

Health homework

How do you know national moving companies are adhering to the current coronavirus-containing federal guidelines? Are all cross country moving companies practicing safe-moving techniques by following pandemic preventive practices as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?

Search a company’s website, Facebook posts and tweets. Do they contain info about what steps that company has taken to protect you? Do their photos show drivers and moving-crew members masked and gloved? Is the company ready and willing to answer your safety questions?
