The first things you need to avoid when moving are hassles. With this in mind, you should learn first the items that will not be transported by moving companies before you pack your belongings. This will surely help you avoid the possible delay and mess during your move after finding out that certain boxes need to be left behind.
 
So now, before you hurry in packing all of your stuffs to get ready for your upcoming move, check out first the things that cannot be transported by professional movers:
 
Pets: Moving companies are prohibited by federal regulation to transport animals. So your choice is to place your pet in a cage and move it yourself. Plants: These are also being prohibited by federal regulation to be transported by professional movers. However, if your destination is within 150 miles then you'll never have a problem moving your plants using the moving van.Flammable materials: Anything that is flammable or combustible cannot be moved by professional movers to keep your belongings safe as well. Hence, you are advised to remove the gasoline and oil from your weed eaters, lawn mowers, and other power equipment.
 
Essentially, all of these policies are designed for your own good. For sure, you don't want your belongings to be burned up by fire or your pets to stay in the back of the moving van for long hours.
