Today's the day

Our representative during the move itself is your professional driver, a relocation specialist, who will oversee all the details and direct the moving process of loading, transporting and unloading your shipment. Our drivers undergo extensive training to guarantee that your world receives the finest care.

Zeke2What should you expect on moving day?

  • American Red Ball's fleet of trucks reflects a professional quality appearance and is up-to-date, well maintained, clean and safe. Each vehicle is equipped with the proper tools and supplies necessary to safely secure your possessions. To help ensure that our trucks reflect the quality of our service, American Red Ball owns and operates our own paint and trailer shop to maintain the appearance of our fleet.
  • Upon arrival, your driver will walk-though the residence with you, so you may point out sentimental, antique or other valued items that need special handling during the move, as well as identify the location in which you placed any items that will not be going to your new home. Make sure your driver has received your High Value Inventory.
  • As your driver works with you, the crew will prepare the residence, which includes protecting door openings, banisters and flooring. Additionally, they will stretch-wrap your overstuffed furniture, pad wrap your wood furniture and disassemble any furniture deemed necessary for safe moving.
  • In the meantime, the driver will begin the inventory process. The inventory is the official listing of household items to be moved, as well as notations regarding their condition. This inventory will require your signature at both the point of origin and the final destination. Don't forget to move items from inaccessible (if there is no solid floor, solid staircase, full size opening, or a person cannot stand upright) areas such as attics and crawlspaces to accessible areas to ensure their inclusion. Swingsets, exercise equipment, weight sets, etc. should be disassembled and ready for the movers.
  • When everything is loaded, the driver will complete a final walk-through with you, obtain your signature and the date on paperwork, review the delivery details with you and answer any questions you might have about the next stage of the move. 
Tip #1

There's so much to do when moving, that the only way to stay organized and on track, without forgetting anything, is to put together a written plan of everything you need to do and when it needs to be done.
