Summer is officially here, and people coast to coast are in the midst of battling the extreme summer heat!
Despite these warm temperatures, there is still home moving to be done, and TWO MEN AND A TRUCK is out and about moving people forward. This is our busiest time of year for moving, and our schedules have been filling up quickly.
The temperature, the long daylight hours, and the freed-up schedules for most customers make this the ideal time for home moving, but it’s still important to be mindful of the heat, as moving during this time of year can be challenging.
We have over 40 years of summer moving experience under our belts, so we put together our best summer moving tips to help you have a stress-free moving day!
Schedule Your Move Early
The minute you commit to completing a home move, you’ll want to call your local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise and get a move scheduled. This is our busiest time of year for moving, and schedules fill up quickly as people taking advantage of school being out.
To ensure you get your desired moving date, you’ll want to schedule well in advance!
Constantly Monitor The Weather
Everyone knows weather can be unpredictable, especially in the summer months. From varying heat to potential storms, it’s important to keep track of upcoming weather forecasts leading up to moving day so you know what to expect and what you’ll need to prepare for.
Have Snacks And Hydration Available
Even if you hire a professional moving team from TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, there’s still a good chance you’ll be active on moving day.
It’s imperative to have hydration and snacks available for you and your family to make sure you’re getting water and food during the move. Pack a cooler the night beforehand so everyone can easily access what they need!
Use Sunscreen
Sunscreen might not be top of mind when it comes to moving, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important.
You’ll be in and out of your house as the move happens, which means plenty of exposure to the hot summer sun for multiple hours. Applying a good base of sunscreen and continuing to reapply throughout the move is a good way to avoid sunburn.
Dress For The Weather
Dressing appropriately is a good idea for moving during any time of year, but even more so in the summer.
Light, breathable clothing is the way to go when moving during the summer months, and you’ll want to make sure you have a pair of comfortable athletic shoes ready, too. With how much moving, lifting, and walking you’ll be doing as you move your home, you’ll appreciate having this comfortable and light clothing on.
