Interstate Offers Free Packing Classes For The Do-It-Yourself Packer

(Springfield, VA) To help prepare for a move and eliminate some of the hassle (and stress) for the "Do-It-Yourself" packer, Interstate Worldwide Relocation is offering free classes to demonstrate proper packing techniques and moving industry secrets. Interstate's free classes will be conducted on Saturday, February 21, Saturday, March 20, and Saturday April 17 from 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. in Interstate's fully outfitted "Talking Training House" at the corporate headquarters located at 5801 Rolling Road in Springfield, Virginia. Advance registration is requested. To register or for additional information, please call 1-800-745-MOVE (6683), ext. 234.

The 2 ½ -hour class will focus on basic packing procedures, proper packing material usage and safety measures, as well as appropriate techniques for lifting and handling basic household items. Interstate moving and packing professionals will field questions from class participants on all aspects of the relocation process, and will provide instructions and pricing for purchasing packing materials.

Established in 1943 and headquartered in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, the Interstate family of companies today comprises a worldwide group of relocation management, transportation and logistic entities. For sixty years, the Interstate team has been learning and building on its reputation for providing "Top Hat Service." The experience and attention to details led to Interstate being designated as ISO certified for all entities and facilities in August 2000, an accomplishment achieved by less than one percent of companies within its industry.
