MOVING RUSH WEEK: STAYING SAFE ON THE ROAD AND DURING THE LIFT
This week is one of the busiest of the year for moving, as families and students settle into new homes before schools and colleges kick off. With the rush comes an important reminder: safety should be top of mind. Many people are behind the wheel of large trucks or vans they aren’t used to driving, often navigating crowded neighborhoods or campus areas. Extra caution is key to avoiding accidents on the road.
The same goes for the heavy lifting that comes with moving day—strains, sprains, and back injuries are all too common when hauling boxes or furniture without the right technique. Take breaks, use proper equipment, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. The season’s excitement can make it tempting to hurry, but slowing down and being careful ensures a smoother, safer move during this hectic time of year.
