Top 8 things you should know about moving during the busy moving season

Normally, our teams across the country would be gearing up for our “Busiest Move Weekend” of the year – a weekend where we are completing nearly 6,000 moves– but with complications surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve had to adjust a bit

According to statistics compiled at MovingLabor.com, nearly 80 percent of all moves that happen across the United States occur between the months of April and September. While things may be “different” everywhere, people still need to move, and we’re here to help.

Below, we’ve compiled some of the most important information we think could be beneficial to know prior to your upcoming move.
