I think I found the ‘right’ moving company - found them because they got a great writeup as one of the top companies in the state. They do mostly local moves, but do instate as well. Mom’s big fear was having her furniture on a big truck with other families’ furniture going other places & taking days for the move. Two trucks are scheduled & only our stuff will be on them. The guy I worked the details out with was outstanding & I hope the crew is the same. We can reschedule if we need to, just call them by 7 am. (it’s still hurricane season & we get remnants that cause flooding, etc - like today).
I had a ramp put up when dad was in the hospital - he only used it 4 times; however, most of the stuff I have moved I could not have gotten out of the house without that ramp. The movers are happy we have one & it will help them move us in one day. “Funny” how that ramp has worked out.
I understand your mom’s misgivings. Moving is emotional enough without having packing/moving/unloading fiascos. I’ve had my share. I’ve moved seven times as an adult, and six as a kid. Always a PITA, but usually led to better things (not always…life is tough…but we are tough, too!)
I will pray that things go smoothly for you. You must be pretty amped. I know I would be.
