Home moving can be a fun and exciting time for those heading to a new house, apartment, or condo, but it can also be a stressful time filled with a million questions running through your head.
What do I need to pack? How do I hire professional movers? When is the best time to complete a home move?
These are just three of the many questions you might find yourself wondering about as you start prepping for a home move, but don’t worry – this is normal! We’ve been helping people with their home and business moving needs for 40 years, and we’ve come across just about every question related to moving you could possibly think of.
The most commonly asked question is always this: How much does it cost to move?
This question and many others fall under what we consider our “frequently asked moving questions” list, so we decided to put together the most common questions we receive and answer them for you in one place!
How much does it cost to move?
The answer? It depends! There are multiple factors playing into the final cost of your home moving bill. Local moves are charged by the hour, so everything related to the time and manpower needed comes into play, such as drive time, the loading and unloading time, and time it takes them to walk too and from the truck.
Thankfully, there are plenty of ways you can save money on a home move, and we’ve covered them here.

What is the best way to pack for a home move?
Packing is a critical piece to a successful home move, and it can go a long way in eliminating stress from moving day. Start packing well in advance of your scheduled moving date to help chip away at the process by completing small pieces periodically. Go room by room so you can keep track of your things and not get overwhelmed.
What are the best items to have with me on moving day?
Having a “day of the move” bag put together can come in handy as you’re transferring your belongings from one home to the next. Pack yourself important items like phone chargers, toiletries, cleaning products, a change of clothes, and water/snacks to keep readily available should you need them.
What type of payment does TWO MEN AND A TRUCK accept?
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchises will accept all major credit cards, and certain franchises may have additional payment plans available upon request. Please contact your local franchise to clarify on their preferred payment methods.
Should I tip my movers?
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK movers are allowed to accept tips from customers after the completion of a move, but they will never ask. If you feel satisfied with the job they did, feel free to tip them whatever you feel is appropriate!
