Moving Glossary
The moving industry has its own set of terms, acronyms, and phrases that can be confusing, especially if you’re hiring professional movers for the first time.
Understanding the terminology, from documents such as bills of lading to services such as white glove moving, will help you to be more informed and prepared, and from that, feel confident.
We’ve put together this glossary to explain the most common (and most important) terms you’re likely to encounter when planning a move. And understanding them will help you navigate the process more easily and avoid misunderstandings, mistakes, and even deception along the way.
