If you are planning for an upcoming commercial move, you may have concerns about transporting all elements of your business, including your company vehicles. It can be overwhelming to get the logistics right, especially if you have a large fleet. This guide will help you understand more about the company moving process and factors to consider to streamline your commercial vehicle transport.

What Are the Top Factors to Consider?

There are several factors involved in moving a commercial vehicle fleet. You must have enough drivers to transport all your vehicles quickly and efficiently. Plus, some of your vehicles may not currently be operable. You may need to make special arrangements to transport boats, tractors, or other recreational or nontraditional vehicles. Vehicle size, fuel cost, mileage, drive times, weather, and legal regulations are other essential considerations.

Laws in Your New Location

Take some time to learn the vehicle-related laws and regulations in the state or country where your business is moving. They may be different from those of your business’s present location. For example, safety and emission standards may differ. You should familiarize yourself with any legal regulations pertaining to your commercial vehicle fleet.

Weather and Climate

The daily weather and overall climate can affect the appropriateness of certain types of vehicles. If your business is currently in a warm climate and you are moving to a cold climate, for example, your vehicles may need adjustments to stay operable in frigid, snowy, icy conditions.

When moving your office, there are likely many concerns and worries that go through your mind. Before the move, you need to make crucial decisions to ensure your business will be up and running as quickly as possible after you arrive at the new location. For example, if your business has been in the same space for years, you may have accumulated items you no longer need. Or perhaps some of your existing business items won’t be appropriate for your new office space. Disposing of such items now will make your move easier and keep your business running efficiently.

Consider Disposing of These Items

Here is a list of five types of items you may want to consider getting rid of before moving your business. Depending on the items, you can sell, donate, or recycle:

1. Outdated or obsolete computers, printers, CDs/DVDs, and other electronic equipment or hardware
2. Furniture or office equipment that won’t fit into or match your new office setting
3. Decorative pictures or knick-knacks you don’t necessarily want or need
4. Files, reports, magazines, books, and other paper items
5. Promotional items, such as coffee mugs or t-shirts, with your old address

One of the primary things people wonder about when preparing for a residential move is what types of containers and packaging to use for their moving and storage needs. Of course, the answer depends on the particular type of item, but here are some general tips for the best moving and storage containers and packaging:

Tip #1: For fragile items, such as china, glass, and crystal, wrap each item individually and firmly in soft, cushioned material. Then, place the wrapped items inside a sturdy plastic container with a locking lid.

Tip #2: Protect bottles of liquids inside strong plastic or sturdy cardboard containers. Ensure you have not packed any hazardous liquids, such as bleach, pesticides, and motor oil, as these are not allowed to be packed, nor shipped across state lines.

Tip #3: Fold lightweight, flexible items, such as clothes, towels, and bedding, and store inside a box or heavy-duty plastic tote.

Tip #4: Wardrobe boxes are a good idea for your most valued clothing like designer dresses and suits.

Tip #5: Use sturdy cardboard boxes of various sizes for moving a variety of items, from books to kitchen appliances. Adjustable boxes are available for moving awkward items like flat-panel TVs.

It’s easy to overlook potential problems when you transport your vehicle. You may not have enough drivers for all your cars and other vehicles. Some vehicles, such as snowmobiles, you cannot drive on the open highway. Additionally, you might have some inoperable vehicles. Other considerations are vehicle size, fuel cost, mileage, drive times, weather, and legal regulations. The following three tips will help you avoid potential hassles in your vehicle moves.

Tip #1: Think About All Your Vehicle Types

Keep in mind you may have types of vehicles other than automobiles, such as snowmobiles, jet skis, boats, motorcycles, scooters, or tractors. Do you have the means and drivers necessary to move all of these vehicles? If not, you will need help transporting them to your new location.

Tip #2: Look into the Laws of Your Moving Location                

The state or country where you are moving may have different laws regarding vehicles than those of your present location. For example, safety and emission standards may be different. Knowledge of these regulations will help you decide whether you should bring certain vehicles with you or possibly sell them.

Tip #3: Consider the Climate

The weather or climate in your new location may be different from the place where you presently live. Certain vehicles you own might not be appropriate in cold or warm climates. Taking all of these factors into consideration will help you make the best decision when it is time to move your vehicles.
