Everyone gearing up for busy moving season

The much anticipated busy moving season starts now.  Already a surge in calls and activity signals the time when more people and families are planning their move.  One new customer called in today and sold their home in 2 days in the northeast!  This year as was the case last year, fewer drivers and crews exist throughout most of the major movers, so the van lines will be cautious about wanting moves scheduled further in advance.

Already, one of the major van lines has told us that they would like at least 8 days notice for scheduled pick ups on newly booked moves.  What this means to a family moving is that the process will have to start sooner to get the estimate for moving,  and then schedule the moving date.  Most others have not yet advised us of any restrictions going into the spring and summer.  But... we expect some time restrictions as we get further into May and June.

What all this means is that if you are planning a move in May or June you need to get the process started NOW.  At a minimum allow a week or more for the estimates, then plan to schedule your move out at least another one to two weeks to insure you get the moving dates you want.  As we get further into June allow more time to insure your selected moving dates, or you may have to settle on what is available.

As always, try to avoid scheduling moving dates close to holidays such as Memorial Day, and the end and beginning of the month during the summer.  These dates tend to be the busiest and most hectic.

  2. You said it. Spring and summer are the best times to relocate. For household move, 2 weeks preparation may be sufficient, but for corporate relocation, it may take more than that! A relocation moving checklist should be prepared at least 2 months of the actual move. Briefing of employees must also be done in advance to better prepare their routine, family and location adjustments if needed.

  3. Be sure to bring a photo of the motorcycle so that if it is damaged in transit that you are able to provide a photo evidence. This can save you a lot of hassle later on. Get more interesting details about motorcycle transport check out this site.
