Local moves: Transporting belongings down the road may seem easy but can be more involved than one might realize. Short moves often have no formal inventory but a customer may request this of a moving company prior to moving day. Taking a few extra steps in addition to the moving company’s routine can help ensure that nothing is left behind or goes missing.

Interstate moves: An interstate move is a little more involved and most movers should have an inventory process with an itemized list. Each item should be numbered with its own inventory sticker which corresponds with a sticker on the list. Each number will be checked off when it arrives at the final destination. Although this is a fairly efficient process, it is good for customers to take steps to check their residence and the moving truck to be certain all belongings make the journey.  

‘Fast Track’ System: Many movers like Humboldt are implementing the use of smart phones and tablets to manage inventory lists. The more streamlined process begins with sales representatives creating a list when they first visit customers. The crews and operators use the list as a starting point they as they can add, change or edit easily. Applying technology to the inventory process creates a solid list where a bar code scanner can track items when they arrive at the final destination to expedite the process and ensure nothing is left behind.
