[QUOTE="IllinoisBurt, post: 2731279, member: 35752"] Movers won't transport your firearms, ammunition, or reloading supplies on their trucks. You definitely do not want to fudge that either in the event of damage or loss it would not be covered by insurance (by the way, make sure you get a rider from you homeowners insurance company for the move based on replacement value - the trucking company insurance is total garbage). Usually the guys loading the moving truck are local day workers so a small side job for cash to get them to haul out the safe is usually easy to negotiate the day of the load and unload. My preference has been to load the safes in a U-Haul truck laying on down and pack all the firearms inside the safes wrapped in moving blankets to keep things from shifting and scratching each other. Once it's loaded up and locked, use semi ratchet straps to secure the safe to the wall in the center to distribute weight and prevent movement. I'd recommend some military footlockers for ammunition and components. They are study and better hold the weight (lead is heavy!). Keep them on the floor (don't stack) and distribute evenly/strapped in place. [/QUOTE]
