Moving can be an exciting time as you work quickly to get your personal belongings packed up, loaded onto a truck, and moved to a new place to call home.
With everything that’s involved in the planning, packing, and move process, many people turn to the help of professional movers like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, relying on our expertise in the world of moving to handle the heavy lifting, loading, and unloading. This can save you enormous amounts of stress and hassle, as you can focus on more important things while our professional movers safely and securely get you relocated to your new home.
If you’ve never hired professional movers before, there are probably plenty of questions swirling around as you determine the first steps, including this very important question: When is the best time to book a home move?
There are plenty of ways to answer this question, but we thought we’d give our insight into this process and help you determine the best time to make the call for professional moving help.
Planning ahead to get your desired moving date
Regardless of the time of year you plan on moving, our number one piece of advice for when to book a move is getting on the schedule one to two months before your desired move date.
The moving schedules at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK fill up fast, which is why it’s imperative to call well in advance of the date you’d like to move so you can ensure there’s room on the schedule for you. Try to get an idea on when you’ll be able to get into your new home and as soon as you know, reach out to your local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise to ask about availability so you can lock in your spot on the books.
Weekend moves vs. weekday moves
Given the normal time constraints of those who work during the week, it should come as no surprise that weekends are significantly busier than weekdays. This is something to keep in mind when deciding what time is best for you to book professional movers.
If your schedule requires you to move on a weekend, you’ll want to follow the tip above and schedule your move well in advance of your desired moving date. If you have a bit more flexibility in your schedule, you can find more open times during the week.
Taking the busy moving season into consideration
Another factor that needs to be considered when figuring out the best date for you to book a move is what time of year you’ll be moving.
At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, our busiest time of the year – or what we refer to as the “busy moving season” – runs from May to September. The main reason this time is so busy is because of the warm summer months being far more cooperative when it comes to moving, but also because people have more free time and kids are out of school, making the process just a little bit easier on everyone.
Like we’ve mentioned above, if your desired move date falls within the busy move season, you’ll want to call your local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise well in advance of your desired moving date. If you’re moving in the fall or winter, you’ll have a bit more flexibility on how far ahead you need to call, as schedules are generally less full.
