Should you hire movers or rent a truck and handle your move yourself? It might come as a surprise coming from a moving company, but hiring a mover isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Every move is different, and our goal is to present you with an honest list of things to consider before making the call.

If you’ve typically handled moves on your own or with the help of family and friends, you might not know what red flags to look for when hiring a moving company. While there are many great movers out there, not all of them have the credentials you can trust to get your belongings from Point A to Point B safely.

If you save decluttering until the last minute before you move, you’ll likely end up sending many of these excess belongings to the landfill. However, sorting through unused items a few months before moving day can benefit you and your community.

Between May and August, moving companies, truck rentals, and storage units get booked weeks (if not months) in advance. If you don’t have a lot of flexibility with your moving date, it’s in your best interest to reach out for quotes as soon as possible.
