You Can't Move These Items

Before your possessions are packed and loaded, it is important that you understand which items cannot be moved.

Here is the list:

Liquid Cleaning Supplies

You can't move liquid cleaning supplies like liquid laundry soap, all-purpose cleaners, glass cleaner, ammonia, or any liquid in a plastic container. Basically anything that looks like the picture to the right. The problem with moving these products is that they usually spring a leak when being moved. The changing altitude and changing temperature of the truck makes the plastic containers expand and contract, causing a crack in the bottom corner of the container. It could damage your furniture if it spills on it. Powered laundry soap is okay.

Combustible Items

You can't move anything combustible like gasoline, kerosine, lighter fluid, matches, propane tanks, paint, paint thinner, nail polish remover, ammunition, fireworks, and any aerosol cans. The problem is obvious. Gas cans must be empty and not even smell like gasoline or the driver will refuse them. Propane cans from barbeques are not allowed even if they are empty. They are just too risky. They've blown up one too many times, so no driver will let one of them inside his truck. Which also means you can rest assured that no other load on the truck will put your shipment at risk by moving these dangerous combustibles. Diving tanks are okay as long as they are practically empty.

Perishible Items

You can't move any perishible items like any food that will spoil. But it's okay to move can goods, boxes of grocery items, and spices - that's okay.
