What are the little known facts about long distance moving that people do not see right away?

In accordance with the title of the article, we would like to dive right into the information we came here to share with you. With that being said, some of the most common little known facts about long distance moving are the following:

  • Half of all moves with the help from long distance movers California has to offer in a year happen between May and September
  • The most popular day of the week to move is Friday, but not of it is the first day of the month
  • On average, Americans require 60 boxes for their residential moves
  • Moving boxes can be used more than one time!
  • No moving company can withhold your belongings, it’s against the law!
  • Any mover you contract is required to provide you with the booklet Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move

Now, let’s take a look at the details of the facts we shared with you above.

Moving long distances carries many challenges!

Half of all moves in a year take place between May and September

The first thing that we would like to talk to you about would be the seasonality in the moving industry. Moving has been known as one of the seasonal industries. This means that there are patterns that can be noticed in the amount of work moving companies get throughout the year. Most commonly, people would be looking for moving quotes from state to state movers California has to offer mostly after the month of May. This is understandable, of course. After all, most people look to take advantage of nice weather to move their things. Also, students relocate mostly in August, slightly earlier than when their school year is about to begin.

So, in the case that you are looking to save money on your move, you should think about moving in winter. That is when the prices are going to be most affordable.

People mostly move on Fridays, as long as it is not Friday the 1st of the month

In the case that you have been wondering when people most commonly move, it is on Fridays! This, once again, should not come as too much of a surprise. After all, moving on a Friday means that you may be taking one day off from work, sure. However, it leaves you with two free days, the weekend, to settle down after your long distance move. Having covered so much distance, these two free days mean a lot!

If you have been thinking about moving on a Friday, you might want to reconsider. However, not if it is a Friday the 1st you are thinking about, that’s the least popular Friday to relocate.

If you need moving boxes, start thinking in the range of 60

Moving boxes are one of the most common things that people invest in when moving. They are made to ensure that your belongings do not suffer any damage in the moving process. Still, no matter whether you are planning an interstate move or a local one, you should know that the common number of moving boxes people require to move with ease is about 60!

60 boxes is the average people need for moving

You can use your moving boxes more than one time!

Believe it or not, this is true! You can reuse your moving boxes! Even though too many people are not aware of it.

Moving boxes can be used between 3 and 10 times before their structure suffers irreparable damage. So, make sure to keep them once your move is over!

One of the little known facts about long distance moving is that no movers can withhold your belongings!

In the case that you have heard of moving companies taking their customer’s items hostage by withholding their belongings, you would be right, that has happened. However, this is against the law! You need to know that this is something intolerable. Should you find yourself in a situation such as this one, act swiftly! No one can hold your items hostage – and reliable Glendale movers would never do such a thing.

You need to receive the booklet Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move

Thanks to the FMCSA, you are entitled to a copy of the booklet from the subject. Not only you, but anyone hiring a moving company is!

One of the little known facts about long distance moving is that you need to receive a booklet from your moving company

Receiving a booklet about your rights is a must

This is one of the regulations that you should know about. Everyone should know what their rights are. And this booklet is exactly where you can find information on your rights. So, if you hire a moving company to help you move, let them know that you know you need to get a copy of this booklet. It is going to ensure that you receive all the information you need. Plus, it is going to ensure that they know you are not someone to mess around with.

These have been the little known facts about long distance moving

As you have seen, there are many things people should know about relocation. However, too often they do not. Luckily, you have gained your dose of the little known facts about long distance moving and now should be ready to hit the road. However, if you decide to go about this business, make sure to make your needs and rights a priority!

Jason and Jose helped our move from Southern California to northern California, we did pack our own boxes of small household things , while the moving team did the furnitures, tv and large items. The items did arrive with no damages. Jason did assess before moving that it may go over the estimate I had due to 2 large sofas I had. The service I had was very good. But I did end up paying about 2k more than what was quoted 2.7k, but I understand it's a quote and an estimate.

Terry and Joe were THE best team of movers in my whole experience. They were patient, friendly, kind and helpful. I could NOT have asked for better service. They set up my bed and stacked things carefully where I asked. I wish every leg of my move had been with them only. If you want quality service from this company I highly recommend Terry and Joe. I cannot thank them enough.
