“When I took this job, I was very excited about the fact I’d be regularly changing positions as the company grew,” Sarah said. “I love traveling. Discovering new communities and the people who live there? That’s awesome.” What Sarah quickly discovered, though, was that one aspect of frequent career moves didn’t thrill her nearly so much. “I love traveling. I hate moving. Packing boxes, schlepping all the furniture down the stairs and into a moving truck – who wants to do that?”
Here’s a secret known to many who have to move frequently for their career: find a Boston moving company that specializes in small moves. “You want to work with a moving company that’s been around for a while and has an excellent reputation,” Sarah explained. “Look for a company that doesn’t have a minimum load charge – why rack up your expenses paying for space you don’t need and can’t use?”
“Then it’s all on them,” Sarah said. “Tell them what you need – moving boxes, custom crating – I always have my tv and electronics crated, because I don’t want to worry about breakage. Have everything insured. Find out what tracking options you have available to you, so you know where your stuff is – that’s important whether you’re moving across town or a long distance, across the country. And that’s it. Let them do the packing, heavy lifting, and transporting. You can concentrate on getting to your next adventure.”
“Make sure you check with your company ahead of time to know what moving expenses are covered, and what you’ll be expected to pay for yourself,” Sarah added. “When you’re working with a reputable small moving company, they’ll be happy to help you by providing all the paperwork you need!”
