The Busiest Months For Movers

Moving season is peak time for movers, so expect to pay more during this period. For optimal results, try moving during non-peak months if possible.

Colder temperatures make loading and unloading the truck much simpler, while there’s less chance of bad weather; therefore, autumn, winter, and spring are ideal times to move.

Summer

Moving companies often experience peak business during summer due to many people having lease agreements end during this period, necessitating them to find new homes.

Families with children typically prefer moving during the summer, as it doesn’t disrupt their children’s school schedules. College students also often move during this time because it allows for a break from classes.

Due to high demand, finding a dependable and cost-effective moving company during summertime is becoming increasingly challenging. Furthermore, the blistering heat makes moving even more strenuous; wear comfortable clothes and take breaks frequently in order to prevent dehydration or heatstroke. Finally, snow and ice may hamper drivers and make long distance moves hazardous for crew members who must load your items onto trucks safely.

Fall

If you have the flexibility, fall is the ideal time to relocate. Temperatures are more comfortable, movers have less work to do and costs tend to be lower compared to summer moving seasons. Fall also makes life easier on families who may struggle adjusting to new school years after moving.

Moving in the fall does have its drawbacks, including hurricane season on the Atlantic Coast and allergy season’s start, when mold spores, mildew and ragweed bloom causing difficulty for asthmatics to breathe.

If you need to move during the summer, try scheduling your move during a mid-month weekday rather than on the weekend to avoid high prices and scheduling conflicts on peak moving days. Furthermore, this strategy could save on line haul fees as companies will likely charge less according to shipment weight and distance.

Winter

If you want to save money on your move, the winter is certainly the best time of year. Demand is lower for moving companies during this season, making them more likely to offer discounts. Plus, cooler temperatures make moving easier!

Peak moving season takes place from May through September and this is when most moves occur. School children are out of school during this time, as well as many individuals relocating when their lease expires or begins.

College students also contribute significantly to the high number of moves during the summer season, as they leave their dorms for apartments or homes. Although circumstances such as divorce, death of loved one, natural disasters may force people to relocate any time during the year, it can still be emotionally straining to uproot your life at any point during the year.

Spring

If you are planning a move, take into account when would be the optimal time of year to do it based on factors like costs and weather.

Fall and winter tend to be slower moving seasons for companies, meaning you’re likely to find lower rates. Temperatures tend to be more tolerable with reduced chances of snow or ice on moving day.

Moving with school-age children during fall or winter may prove challenging due to their schedules, while allergies may find the shorter days and high pollen counts daunting. Furthermore, holidays add another level of chaos that makes long distance driving even harder; therefore selecting an ideal season to move can significantly lessen moving-related stress while helping ensure a seamless transition into your new home or apartment.
