Moving on your own can save a lot of money, but before you choose this option, take some time to go through the checklist. It explains important factors you should consider before planning a self-move.
Moving by Yourself
Most families have a smooth moving experience, but some fall victim to dishonest interstate movers who overcharge them. Each year, the Department of Transportation receives thousands of complaints. Follow these tips to protect yourself when choosing an interstate moving company.
Interstate Moves
Sometimes, circumstances force you to move with less than ideal notice or preparation. There are still plenty of things you can do to ensure a successful and stress-free move.
How to Prepare For Short Notice Moves
Moving day is here, but your helpers have backed out. If you’re stuck without labor, stay calm and focus on finding help fast. Hiring labor-only movers is one option. They handle loading or unloading trucks and often bring tools like dollies or lifting straps. Many can be booked through apps that handle short-notice requests.
Another option is hiring day laborers from verified local staffing centers. This route often costs less, but workers may not bring equipment or have moving experience, so make sure they fit your needs. Confirm whether the workers are insured or bonded through the company or service. Before hiring anyone, check ratings, confirm pricing details, and ask if they bring their own tools.
Professional Movers vs Day Laborers
No matter how small your move is, many moving companies require you to pay a minimum cost, which can be high compared to your small load.
