Items Movers Cannot Transport

Some items can't legally or safely go on a moving truck, and others are simply worth keeping with you regardless. Here's what falls into each category.

Hazardous Materials -- Cannot Be Loaded

Federal law, insurance requirements, and basic safety mean moving companies cannot accept these items onto a truck, no exceptions:

ExplosivesFireworksCompressed gases (helium, oxygen, etc.)PoisonsFlammable liquids, solids or gasesGasolinePropanePaints & paint thinnersNail polish remover

If you're not sure whether something falls into this category, ask your moving representative before packing it -- better to check than to have it discovered on moving day.

Valuables Worth Keeping With You

These items aren't hazardous, but we strongly recommend transporting them yourself rather than putting them on the truck. Insurance coverage on a move typically doesn't extend to irreplaceable or highly sensitive items like these:

FirearmsFamily photosPerishable foodPrescriptions needed right awayCash & rare coinsCollections (stamps, etc.)Deeds, wills & important papersBonds, stocks & certificatesJewelryYour moving documents
Why this matters beyond convenienceIrreplaceable and high-value items are usually excluded from standard moving insurance. If something is truly one-of-a-kind or hard to replace, keeping it with you isn't just cautious -- it's the only way to guarantee it's covered if something goes wrong.

When in Doubt, Ask

If you have something unusual and aren't sure which category it falls into, the safest move is a quick question to your Frontier Movers representative before packing day. It's a much easier conversation in advance than a surprise when the crew arrives.
