...Hiring a moving company when moving across the country can often be one of the best things that you can do, mostly because the moving company will be able to take most of the work out of your hands. Listed below are three reasons to hire a moving company when moving across the country. To Avoid Having To Unload On Your Own One of the biggest reasons to hire a moving company when moving across the country is to avoid having to unload a moving truck all on your own. This is extremely important because if you are moving to a brand-new city where you don't know anybody or have any family members living there, then you could end up in a situation where you won't really have any help moving everything out of the truck and into your new home or apartment. As a result, you could very easily end up straining yourself and taking a very long time to get your new home in order. However, when you hire a moving company, they will handle the unloading and you won't have to worry about doing it all on your own or having to find someone to help you in an unfamiliar city. To Complete Your Move In The Shortest Amount Of Time...

...PART I – 5 Cases where moving and storage companies were sued for some type of fraud against the Consumer and/or against other Businesses These group of cases represent consumers in lawsuits against moving companies and/or arbitration. Lawsuits against moving companies may include damages to property, breach of contract, tariff or regulatory violations, and hostage loads. * The Attorney General's Office filed a lawsuit against Moving Max in July 2014, alleging they "engaged in a predatory bait and switch scheme," billed customers for "bogus charges," and then "threatened to drive off and retain the customers personal belongings unless and until payment was made by cash or money order." Under the terms of the Final Consent Judgment (entered February 13, 2015), that concluded a lawsuit filed in State Superior Court in Bergen County, the owner of Moving Max, Inc., a moving and storage company based in Fair Lawn, and the owner’s father, are permanently barred from owning or working in such businesses in New Jersey. In addition, as part of the settlement, 18 consumers who complained that their possessions were held until they paid substantially higher moving costs than agreed to, will be reimbursed for their losses.

...”We are moving to California,” my father said. “This is a great opportunity for a better education.” My father had just arrived at our apartment in Queens, New York City from a long business trip. When he told me, I did not know what to think. This must have been the third time already, having to move from Korea to Poland and back, and then from Korea to New York right after. Though I felt uncomfortable moving frequently, it made me learn to avoid attachments to my surroundings. I felt like I had nothing to hold on to anymore; it seemed like I would have to leave everything behind again. Despite the challenges, these events also brought me to a positive realization of what is important in my life, one being my family. When we lived in New York, my family and I did not have much; however, as a family we were there for each other. My mother, sister, brother and I settled in a single bedroom apartment, while my father was away for business. My uncles, cousins and grandparents lived in the same neighborhood, so we had many gatherings, which drew us all close together. Since my relatives were so involved in my life, I inevitably gained support and guidance from them, which helped me find the second important thing to hold on to, my dream. As I increasingly recognized and valued the support of my family, I gained motivation and focus toward my dream of becoming a nurse. My mother and grandfather especially influenced me. My mother has been a nurse for many years; vividly observing...

...Well, the student year has already started, I’m all settled in but I still the painful process of researching housing options. Isn’t that crazy that you have to fight for the apartment you have never seen 5-6 months in advance?! Well, I got lucky to find my apartment and that was the best decision I could have made. I live in Neil Building; it’s student residential hall, located in South Campus. I absolutely love my place for the following reasons. Firstly, my apartment is fully furnished!!! Yes!! Can you imagine a tiny girl moving or assembling the furniture alone?! I wouldn’t be able to do that, that’s why my main search criteria was to find a furnished place. The studio has everything that person may need: desk, drawers, closet, shelves, bed and fully equipped kitchen. The only thing you need for move-in process is to move in with your luggage, that’s it! Secondly, there is a huge cafeteria Marketplace on the first floor of the building. They have numerous eating options, starting from salads and sandwiches and ending with pasta and soups! Btw, their broccoli and cheese soup is amazing! You may want to check it out! What I like the most is that residents of Neil Building have separate entrance to the café; you have to swipe your BuckID and you are already there. When it rains on weekend and I don’t feel like going out, I can just go down and use the magic door to access the food paradise. Thirdly, the staff at Neil Building is very helpful and friendly.

...MOVING TO THE USA Moving to a foreign country can be both, challenging and exciting experience. Even though I felt ready for such an adventure, no amount of preparation could get me ready for what I was about to experience. When I flew from Peru, my last destination was New York. It was my first time flying and I totally got lost in such I big airport. As soon as I got off the airplane I wanted to pick up my luggage, but I didn’t know that there was a train inside the airport which would lead me to the right luggage claim number gate. Since I knew my baggage claim number, I started to walk looking for my baggage. After almost thirty minutes of walking, following signs directions, I felt that something was wrong. I was tired and wondering how much longer I had to walk, so with my Basic English knowledge I asked to an officer to help me find the baggage claim number, showing him my airplane ticket. He looked at me and smiling he said: “You would get to this baggage claim number tomorrow if you keep walking, young lady”. I didn’t understand very well if he was joking, so I asked again if he could help me. He kept smiling and said: “Seems like it is your first time flying isn’t it?” which I responded whit an ashamed “yes it is”. Luckily very kindly he explained that JFK was a very big airport and trains needed to be taken in order to get the right baggage claim number. I started laughing at myself because I was walking for thirty minutes thinking that my luggage were that close...

...…Taking away something I’ve known for all my life, gone... What seemed to be a scary dream, in which I cannot awake from. I had lived in the same place practically my whole life. The school I went to was great. I knew everyone, and everyone knew me. I had lived there for 13 or more years, so I was very comfortable with my surroundings, and how things were turning out. Well… On a late Friday night at the end February, that was all about to change. I distinctively remember that night pretty clearly. My parents were gone majority of the day, and I was home watching my younger relatives until they returned, so I could go to my friend’s house. I got a text from my mom around 5:30pm saying, “Be home soon, and bringing home dinner.” When I received that text I was excited that I would finally, after a very long wait of what seemed to be hours upon end, see my best friend. Little did I realize, that wasn’t going to happen. They walked through the front door and then exclaimed, “We need to have a family talk.” Being as eager as I was, I just thought to myself, “I don’t care, I just want to get out of here.” That mood was a drastic change when they said the first sentence at the dinner table. “How would you guys feel if we moved?” My first initial response was just in shock. I had never really thought of that topic before for a very long time. It never occurred to me, because I knew I was not the only one who was very pleased with our lives there. My only question I had for my parents...

...By now, I’ve moved four times in my life. I am still in contact with the friends that I’ve made all over the world. There is a first time for everything though, and the first time I moved to a different country was an extremely nerve-wracking experience for me. I was only eight years old, and one day, my mom announced that we would be moving to China for a few years. I didn’t know what life would be like there; I just knew we would be flying to a place far away. At the time, I didn’t understand the concept of having to fit in with a new community, so my only concern was not being able to see my friends in Vancouver ever again. I had had the same friends for my entire life, and I wasn’t prepared to leave them. I was only in the third grade, but nevertheless, I cared about my friends very much and was extremely reluctant to cut off all connections with them. When I left, I cried a river, and I was as miserable as a cat standing alone in the rain. Then, I was introduced to my first cellphone. I hadn’t known that there was a way to keep in contact with someone when they were on the other side of the world. This was a huge surprise to me, and I was ecstatic. Immediately, I asked my mom to contact my friends, my phone wouldn’t stop dancing on the table from all the vibrations. I couldn’t help but feel extremely foolish for thinking I would be leaving everything back in Vancouver forever. Now, when I move to a different place, I’m not as worried that I would be losing my friends...
