Moving Tip of the Week: From the Mouth of the Movers

Often, the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers offer tips and advice to help your moving labor services run a lot smoother on your moving today. We decided to change it up a little this week and ask our seniority movers for personal advice that they'd offer to our Cincinnati Tri-State customers. Here's what they had to say:

Shane: The right size truck

"Renting the right size truck is key. Sometimes we accept a last minute job and arrive at the job site to find the customer is moving a four bedroom house with a 14ft U-Haul, but is moving cross country. These turn into bad situations because we can't fit everything into that small of a truck. You can always call our office, and one of the managers or staff will help you decide which truck size is best for your move."


Christian: Home Owner Assistance

"I've been very fortunate to find myself on several jobs with incredibly nice customers. But there are times when a customer can't stand to watch us do all the work, and they do nothing. Some customers then try to help by carrying boxes, or stacking small furniture items in the truck. Believe me, I appreciate the help, but you should really leave the work to your movers. That's what you've paid us to do. We have been trained and are experienced with how to pack your truck properly to prevent damage. Some customers invite their friends over to help also, and then suddenly there are 20 people walking in and out of a moving truck with no real direction on how it should be loaded. This can cause damage to your goods, and we want to make sure that's prevented at all times."


Jacob: Dust & Knick-Knacks

"My crew prides itself on providing an efficient, quick, and safe moving experience. My advice to a customer who wants their move to go as quickly and smoothly as possible is to clear off all of their furniture of dust and knick-knacks. Nothings worse than moving an armoire that is covered in years of dust and dirt, and sometimes, pet hair. As your tilting it, the dust get's in your eyes, nose, and mouth and causes you to reset the object to brush it off and clean off your face. Knick-Knacks can be even worse. Consider this: If we have to clear off every piece of furniture in your home to move it, that time begins to add up. And then if those same knick-knacks aren't boxed, we have to carry them out of your old home, and back into your new home, which creates a considerable amount of trips."


We hope these tips can help offer you a better moving day. From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!
