It’s moving<\/a> season! Did you know that 70% of all moves occur between Memorial Day and Labor Day? That means almost half of all moves take place during three short months. If you are planning on moving during the summer, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reserve Equipment Early for Your Move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The earlier the better. With so many people moving in one short period, trucks<\/a> and trailers<\/a> are going to be in high demand. Don’t wait until the last minute to call your local U-Haul center<\/a>, or stop by on moving day and expect to drive off with the truck<\/a> or trailer<\/a> of your choice. Just because the location has equipment on the lot, doesn’t mean it’s available. It could be reserved by someone else later that day. Calling ahead ensures that you are the \u201csomeone\u201d with the reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan Your Move During an Off-Peak Time of the Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last weekend of the month is the busiest for moving companies. Many people close on their homes or vacate apartments at the end of the month. If possible, time your move <\/a>around mid-month. Lines at the moving center will be shorter and you’ll be in and out quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, remember to take advantage of Truck Share 24\/7<\/a>. U-Haul Truck Share 24\/7 is available online and through the U-Haul app<\/a>. This service allows you to pick up and drop of a truck anytime, even if the location is closed. Moving on your own time has never been easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
