New Law Affecting Your Move

Mike Ellingson, owner of Relocation LLC, says local movers in Oklahoma will be facing new rules from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission requiring insurance coverage and licensing. Formerly, an inter-city moving company was exempt from licensing and insurance laws but will now face penalties and fines for not holding these policies and coverages. The law takes effect November 1st, 2009. Homeowners are often deceived by companies who present a low bid but offer no coverages for damage or loss. Research carefully before you hire a mover and make sure that you can trust them with all of your belongings. For more information on these new regulations affecting your move, for an estimate, or for moving tips, contact Mike at 918-459-6683 or www.relocationllc.net.

Moving with Pets

Moving can be very stressful for the homeowners and can be just as stressful on their pets. Here are some tips that can make that transition easier on you and your pet. First, keep your pet's routine as normal as possible during the packing and moving process. Second, if possible, have a friend or boarding service watch him. If not possible, avoid giving him food or water an hour or two before your trip. Third, if he will be traveling in a pet carrier, make sure there is room for him to stand up and turn around and plenty of ventilation for him to breathe. Remember to use newspaper or other absorbent material in the bottom of the carrier, in case he has an accident. Finally, remember his favorite toy!
