How to Load a Moving Pod

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Ryan Kraft

It’ll be hard to control your excitement when you first see your moving pod. How will you fill it? When will you fill it? Oh, how metal-ly it is!

However, you should take a few minutes to compose yourself and plan your loading before you just start tossing stuff in.

Get Supplies – You’ll need moving boxes, packaging, tape, labels and rope. Learn where to get free moving supplies.
Pack your stuff – Put what you can into moving boxes, which will make loading easier. Make sure to pack your stuff securely.
Plan – Figure out how larger items will fit in the moving pod before you start putting them in.
Be careful – Just because you rented a moving pod doesn’t mean you won’t pull your back by lifting too much.
Secure items in place – Who know how the you-pack company will treat your pod. Rather than have your stuff flying all around with reckless movers, use rope, tape and packaging to secure everything in place.
