If I am paying movers to load my truck, do I need to do anything?

Question

I dont want to come across as lazy but I also dont want to get in their way. Ive been so tired from packing and would actually like to just let them get it done while I pack up whats left. Will they expect my help? Never used movers before.

Answer 1

be very careful about your stuff. make sure you watch them put it all in the truck.  also, if you can box everything and make sure your valuables are wrapped in peanut styrophome or bubblewrap or cloth.

nobody cares about your belongings besides you.  make sure they dont throw your mattress or stuff to the outside of the truck. sounds crazy but it happens.  

number all of your boxes like 1 of X , etc and make sure they all get there and are securely taped.

make sure they lock the truck too before they drive off.

make sure they give you a schedule in writing of when they will get there. make sure they are insured.
