Packing

What's an "air ride" truck?

Air ride is a type of suspension system that is added to a truck's rear axles to help protect the load as the truck moves down the road. The truck is equipped with cushioning bags to absorb shock and bumps. An air ride system on a truck is easily identifiable by its black mushroom-like cushions just behind and between the rear tires.

Is temperature control important?

Many items can suffer when exposed to extreme hot or cold. Wooden antiques react terribly to freezing temperatures as the joints can expand and crack, while some paintings do not fare well in extreme heat as the canvas behind the paint can settle improperly. While normal changes in the weather usually do not pose a risk, extremes can be harmful. In order to keep any of your valuables from warping, it is important that climate control is employed for your relocation.
