Walk Your Moving Route First

Most moving checklists focus on packing boxes and labeling cables. Nobody talks about recon. But professional movers know that the difference between a smooth move and a disaster often comes down to a single walkthrough before moving day. In this episode, we break down exactly what to look for when you walk your route: truck approach, overhead clearance, doorway dimensions, elevator sizes, stairwell tight spots, floor protection needs, and even trash logistics. We explain why measuring door frames (not doors), checking loading zone permits, and chatting with building staff can turn a four-hour move into an eight-hour nightmare — or vice versa. If you're planning a move, this episode will change how you prepare.
