Here is a fun fact for your pocket – the average number of moves a person makes is more than TEN times over their lifetime. That\u2019s including anything from small local moves to big cross country moves. Based on that, chances are you have moved before; you might have even made one of the common moving mistakes during your last move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s no surprise that moving is a challenge when you consider all the things you need \u2014 moving trucks<\/a>, moving boxes,<\/a> moving labor services<\/a> and the list goes on. Once you become aware of all the common mistakes, you\u2019re that much closer to never making them again. Let me walk you through the most common moving mistakes and how to avoid falling into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is recommended that you make your reservation two to four weeks ahead of time for your truck or trailer. This helps to secure the type of vehicle you\u2019ll need \u2013 for local moves or one-way rentals<\/a>. Keep in mind that the summer months are the busiest months in the moving industry. Nearly half of all moves occur between Memorial Day and Labor Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP: You can also avoid the weekend madness at rental centers if you move between Monday and Thursday. Typically, the rental rates are cheaper for trucks during these non-peak week days.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Waiting until the day of is a common mistake that can cause you to get a different size vehicle than the one you wanted. That said if you find it easier to move over an extended time or aren\u2019t sure where you\u2019ll end up then U-Box containers<\/a> could be for you. This is the perfect option for anyone who needs flexibility with an upcoming move, or for any reason doesn\u2019t want to or can\u2019t travel with everything they own. Maybe you have kids and you won\u2019t all fit into the truck or you have pets think about. Pack up your belongings into as many U-Box containers as you need, and then we ship them to the new destination \u2013 or hold them in storage until you\u2019re ready for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1: The Reservation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
