5 Ways to Save Time During a Move

1. Expert Packing & Moving

Even if you are capable of heavy lifting, you can save a lot of time with the use of professional movers for your packing and unpacking needs. With years of experience, a moving company knows the logistics of how to move items, especially bigger pieces of furniture. Do not waste time figuring out which way to turn and position a couch when a mover already knows.

Professional movers can move items out of an old house and into a new one. You can select which rooms to place items and do not need to waste time switching items or rearranging pieces of furniture. The expertise from trained movers will also help with packing up a truck and fitting extra items inside.

You do not need to worry about taking extra trips and wasting time going back and forth when a truck is packed efficiently.

2. Access to Moving Accessories

Not only can professional movers help carry items, but a moving company can supply some moving accessories to save time. One of the biggest time savers is a dolly. Instead of straining to carry individual boxes back and forth, you can stack multiple boxes on a dolly and roll them right up to a moving truck.

If you have multiple dollies, then multiple people can help with the move and save time carrying items on and off a truck. A moving truck often has a large ramp that you can pull out and use to climb up inside. A dolly rolls right up the ramp to provide easy access as you push items.

3. Moving Truck Tracking

Moving involves a lot of tasks, so the last thing you want to do is wait around for a moving truck to arrive. Keep the momentum going with moving truck tracking services. Many moving trucks are equipped with GPS systems, and customers are provided with digital access to the GPS tracking.

Using an overhead map, you can see exactly where a moving truck is and the estimated time of arrival. With the information, you can get tasks done and do not need to guess when a truck will arrive. When you know the truck is close, you can have items ready to load onto the moving truck.

4. Container Moving

Another option to help save time is through mobile container moving services. Instead of a moving truck, a portable storage container is placed on your property. You can fill the container with your moving items and then schedule a pickup time for it. One of the biggest benefits of a container is working at your own pace.

You can save time during the day and focus on moving during night hours. You do not have to rush and can sneak in little moments to add items to the container. While the process may include more overall days, you do not need to dedicate a huge chunk of time just to moving. You can remain focused on other tasks like work or hobbies.

The container drop-off also helps save time. You do not need to rush and meet a moving truck. The container is placed down and will wait until you are ready to unpack for your new home.

5. Extended Storage

When you use moving services, not everything needs to be delivered directly to a new home. You can save time by only having essential items moved there first. The rest of the items can remain at a storage facility until you are ready. By starting out with just the essentials, you can have the basic layout of the home set up and good to go.

You do not need to worry about sifting through multiple boxes or weaving your way through a maze of boxes to reach specific rooms. Once the core of the home is set up, you can have the rest of the storage delivered and unpack all the little items you have stored up.

When you break down each part of the move, you will remain more organized and save a lot of time. You will procrastinate less and have time to focus on specific rooms.
