Short answer: movers generally won’t load hazardous or flammable items like propane, gasoline, paint thinner and fireworks. Keep valuables, important papers, medications, pets and plants with you. In Florida, also plan to carry heat-sensitive items like candles, vinyl records and some electronics in your air-conditioned car, because a truck can get hot.
Hazardous items to leave off the truck
- Propane tanks and gas cans
- Lawn mowers and other gas equipment unless fuel (and oil, as appropriate) has been drained
- Paint thinner, solvents and pool chemicals
- Fireworks, ammunition and other explosives
- Aerosols and anything flammable or corrosive
Ask us before move day if you are not sure about an item.

Florida heat: what to move in your own car
Things that can melt, warp or spoil are safer in an air-conditioned car than in a truck: candles, vinyl records, photos, some electronics, wine, and any open food. Perishable food is best eaten, given away or moved in a cooler you carry.
Items that need special handling, not exclusion
Some heavy items can be moved but need the right crew and equipment. See gun safe moving, piano moving, antique moving and furniture and appliance moving.
