Summer is the busiest moving season of the year, and as it winds down in August and early September, many people are still trying to squeeze in a move before fall begins. At Heartland Moving, we see this end-of-summer rush every year — but with the right planning, you can avoid the stress and secure your ideal moving date.
First, book your movers early. By the time August hits, weekend slots and end-of-month dates get snapped up quickly. We recommend scheduling your move at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially if you have a preferred day in mind or need specialized services like packing or storage.
Second, consider a mid-week or mid-month move. These dates are usually less in demand than weekends or month-end periods, giving you better flexibility and sometimes better rates.
Third, start packing early. Begin with items you don’t use daily, like seasonal decor, books, or off-season clothes. Spreading out packing over several weeks reduces last-minute panic.
Finally, stay organized with a moving checklist to track tasks like address changes, school registrations, and utility transfers. The more you handle in advance, the smoother your move will be.
By planning ahead, you’ll beat the rush and avoid the last-minute scramble that often comes with late summer moves. Contact Heartland Moving today to reserve your spot and enjoy a smooth, stress-free move before the season changes!
