How do you move from coast to coast? You find a reliable mover such as GPS and set a moving date, among many other fine details. And when your furniture is all packed up on moving day and the movers lock up the truck doors, all you can do from there is wait to receive your goods on the other end of the move. And if you’re moving from California coast to coast, that is a long journey for your goods to travel so challenges are to be expected. What kind of challenges, you may ask?
Weather changes
Some weeks back earlier this year Texas experienced extremely low temperatures - something that is quite unusual in the region. This weather abnormally disrupted transport in the region in a big way. Weather disruptions such as these can force movers to halt the transportation process temporarily. And in other cases, the movers can be forced to use alternative routes that may be longer. The end result is that moving dates are affected and your furniture gets to you a bit later than was promised. This is just but one of the many challenges you should think about as you plan about moving from coast to coast.
Delivery timelines
For you to plan your long distance move fully, you need to have an idea of when your furniture will get to you. This allows you to schedule when to move into the new property or when to have someone there to receive and sign off on the furniture delivery. But just as it is with weather changes, the number of days it will take for your furniture to get to you will be affected by various factors. One common one is the number of drop-offs the moving truck has to make up and down the route as it heads from coast to coast. If there are my drops along the way that will extend the delivery timelines further.
On-the-road risks
The road bears perils that cannot be predicted easily. During your long distance move, you are advised to get an insurance cover to protect yourself against loss because of these risks. They include:
• Vehicle accident due to other road users, driver error, or bad weather.
• Theft of goods during transit.
• Damage of goods while in transit probably due to poor packing.
