Summer is cruising along, and the warm weather and sunshine is the best way to let everyone know that it’s the busy moving season!
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® teams across the country are operating at a high level, and this is by far the busiest time for our locations throughout the year – which will culminate in our upcoming Busiest Move Weekend later this month. If you have a home move coming up this summer, there’s no better time to give your local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise a call!
Moving can be an exciting but stressful time, and it’s understandable if you have questions and concerns regarding the moving process. With this in mind, we’re sharing some of our best summer moving tips to get you on your way to a pleasant moving experience.
Schedule Your Moving Day in Advance
The months of May through August are among the busiest of the year. With so many people taking advantage of the weather and no school to complete their home moves, this puts a premium on scheduling your move well in advance of your intended moving date.

Pay Attention to The Weather
The summer weather is great for relaxing, but not always the best for hard, physical labor. While hiring professional movers like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK can take a large chunk of the heavy lifting off your hands, there is still plenty of movement and activity involved for everyone. Keep an eye on the weather and know if you’ll have to prepare for excessive heat or if there is rain on the horizon.
Have Snacks and Water Handy
Building off the tip above, you’ll want to ensure proper hydration and snacks are readily available during moving day. With most of your belongings packed away, it’s a good idea to set aside a cooler with easy snacks to access along with water and necessary hydration for really hot days.
Dress Appropriately
As you’ve probably noticed while we work through these summer moving tips, being conscious of the heat is a big focus. That’s why your clothing choices can play such a big role in the overall comfort and ease of the day.
Be sure to wear light, breathable clothing that is good for physical activity and won’t be too hot. Another good thing to consider is wearing comfortable, athletic shoes while you go back and forth from your old house to your new house.
You want to be as comfortable as possible while moving around in the heat, and what you wear goes a long way!
Use Sunscreen
This might not be at the top of mind during your move, but one you don’t want to skimp on. You may be in and out of your home throughout the day, and this can mean sun exposure. Applying sunscreen can go a long way in preventing sunburn, which is the last thing you’ll want to deal with once the movers have left and you’re settling into your new home!
