Tips from the crew
that's seen it all.
A few habits that separate an easy move day from a chaotic one — straight from movers who've packed thousands of trucks.
Start 6-8 Weeks Out
Booking early gets you first pick of dates and gives you room to sort things properly instead of scrambling the week of.
Declutter Before You Pack
Sort into keep, donate, sell, and toss first. Every box you don't pack is money and time saved on moving day.
Label by Room, Not Contents
Tag boxes with their destination room and a priority level. It's faster for the crew and saves you the guessing game later.
Pack a First-Night Box
Chargers, medication, toiletries, and snacks — one clearly marked box so you're not digging through the truck at 9pm.
Take Photos Before You Unplug
A quick photo of cable setups behind the TV or desk saves 20 minutes of guesswork at the new place.
Confirm Insurance Before Moving Day
Know what's covered and what isn't so valuables like cash, jewelry, and documents travel with you, not the truck.
