New Jersey Residents Feel Virginia Quake
Did you feel New Jersey moving yesterday? If so, you may have just felt the 5.9 magnitude quake which originated in central Virginia. According to the U.S. Geological survey, at 1:51 p.m. on Tuesday a 5.9 magnitude quake hit Virginia. Tremors from the quake were felt as far south as North Carolina and as far north as Boston. No major damage or injuries were reported and New Jersey kept on running as usual. It was just quite interesting to be a part of the random quake from New Jersey. Surprising to some, this is not the first time that New Jersey has experienced an earthquake. Back in February 2009, a series of four earthquakes hit Morris County, with the largest quake reaching a magnitude of 3.0. Later that year in December, a 2.5 magnitude quake hit the same area. Then in 2010, two small earthquakes hi Somerset County in February, with the larger quake measuring a 1.5 magnitude. Now, the threat of more quakes isn't going to make you call a New Jersey moving company, is it?

Steps Motorists Must Take After Moving to New Jersey
There is so much more to a move than just relocating your possessions to a new residence. There are many different services and small, but important, details that you will need to update once you have arrived in New Jersey. Updating your driver's license to that of a New Jersey license is just one of those details.
Fortunately, New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission has set up an easy-to-use website dedicated to helping new residents transfer their out-of-state licenses. Check out the site here. The site takes you through the steps necessary for getting a new license, a CDL or a GDL.
In addition to getting a New Jersey license, new residents will need to transfer their vehicle title within 60 days of moving. The Motor Vehicle Commission website also spells out this process for vehicle owners and those who lease. Drivers will also need to register their vehicle and pick up new plates for their automobile(s). Once your vehicle has been registered, you will then have 14 days to register it.
The site also lists the traffic rules of New Jersey as you wouldn't want to get caught being uncertain of speed limits and important safety regulations.

Packing for Your Move
As a full service moving company, we give you the option of having us pack your belongings in order to ensure a worry-free and damage-free move. However, if you choose to pack your own boxes, there are a few pieces of advice we can give you:
Use proper packing supplies - while it may be tempting to cut corners in the quality or integrity of some of your supplies, like using boxes that weren't designed for the purpose of moving, it will pay off for you in the long run. Imagine if the bottom dropped out of one of those boxes because you packed it with more weight than it was designed for - you may break some valuables that are worth much more than a proper box would have been. Another related tip is to put heavier items in smaller boxes to help maintain the integrity of the boxes and to make it easier to carry them.
It's also a good idea to take the knobs or feet off of furniture. This will help you get the items through doorways and tight spaces easier, and if you have all the feet in one place you'll make sure that you don't lose them.
And of course, plan ahead for the next few days after your move. Make a list of all the things and clothes you will need and put them in a separate box that will be more easily accessible for you. You might not have time to unpack all of your things right away, so it will be a big time-saver if the things you need for the first few days are all in one place.
From your local New Jersey movers, good luck!

End of School Year Moving in New Jersey
You may not realize it yet but the end of the school year in New Jersey is coming up and will be here sooner than you think. If you're a parent, this can mean a lot of things to you and you no doubt are aware of what they are. Maybe one of your kids is going off to college and you'd like to move to a different house so that you don't have an empty bedroom. Or maybe one of your kids is starting high school and you'd prefer to live in a better school district. Whatever the reasons, many people find that moving right after the school year ends is the best time to relocate.
And that means that movers of all types, from small to large moving companies, are going to be very busy during the summer months. That's why it's a good idea to book your move as early as possible. Start planning your moving day right now in the beginning of March, because May and June are just around the corner. Your movers will appreciate that you booked in advance and will make sure that they have assigned all the necessary resources to handle your move. This will be a huge advantage for you when other people start calling in and trying to book their moves last minute, since you'll already be penciled in for that spot. It'll be easier for both you and your moving company, and in the end, the most stress free and efficient moving day possible is everyone's goal.

New Trend in Selling A Home
J.D. Carton has noticed a new trend over the last year. Families trying to buy and sell homes in the State of NJ just can't sell a home today and move into the new one tomorrow. Most families are finding they need up to 3 months to find a new home. Let J.D. Cartonn help you with any storage need you may have.
