When you're packing, be sure to create your "first-night" box containing your survival kit and essentials. These are the things you will use on the last morning in your old home and the first night in your new one. This box should be loaded on the truck last.

Don't forget to pack these essentials:

• Clothes for every family member

• Disposable plates, glasses, and utensils

• Basic tools

• Cleaning supplies

• Bed linens

• Flashlight

• Lightbulbs

• Medications

• Non-perishable snacks

• Napkins

• Towels

• Toiletries

• Children's toys

• Trash bags
