The New U-HAUL 20 Foot Truck Is Here!


Providing the Right Equipment at the Lowest Cost just got 20 times easier with the recent rollout of 3,000 state-of-the-art 20' TT trucks. Here at Cincinnati's best moving company, we're excited!

This brand-new 20-foot model was specifically engineered in response to customers who needed a moving solution between the existing 17' and 26' size trucks. The 20' TT does exactly that while continuing to deliver all of the comforts and features our U-Haul customers have grown accustomed to and more.

Favorite features such as Mom's Attic, the lowest deck, and widest rear door opening are included in the TT. Also incorporated into this new model are must-haves such as the Gentle- Ride Suspension, seating for three adults, air conditioning, fuel saver chassis skirts, a fuel economy gauge and much more.

With loading volume up to 1,015 cu. ft., and a towing capacity of up to 7,500 lbs, the TT is well suited to serve customers who are moving household goods up to a typical three-bedroom household.

"Customers already are raving about the perfect size, the comfortable cab and awesome towing power, " enthused Mike Colman, Truck Program Manager. "The van-style cab makes it appealing to all customers." The 20' trucks are now available and renting in every state in the U.S. and throughout Canada. "More are being produced daily, " Colman added. "If you have not seen on already, you will soon."

Your Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers are here and waiting to take your reservations for the new 20' U-Haul TT.

Moving Tip of the Week: Stairs

Unlike other moving companies in the area, our Cincinnati moving company NEVER charges extra for stairs. We do, however, need to know ahead of time whether you'll have stairs or not in order to give you the best free estimate possible. Since 2005, we've serviced customers with straight stairways, old stairways, spiral stairways, and hillside stairways. Whatever the challenge, we can conquer it to offer you a smooth move. It is important to note that stairs will normally add extra time to your move, especially if you're moving into or out of 3rd and 4th floors. As we approach the hot summer months, it may also be a good idea to consider adding a 3rd mover to your crew. This will help keep your movers refreshed, make your move quicker, and save you money in the long run.

From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: Elevators, Spiral Staircases, & Parking Spots.

The Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers have been serving the tri-state since 2005, and in that span of time, we've been to many interesting and unique places to move our customers. Museums, historic buildings, old factories, and sleep institutes are all places among our repertoire. Each building presents its own unique challenge, and we thought it would be a good idea to pass on what some of these challenges mean to you.

What many customers are unaware of is that elevators will actually slow down a job versus helping to speeding it up. If your move does require an elevator, it will be a good idea to try to reserve it for the time your moving services have been scheduled. More times than not, elevators are usually small and not much can be loaded inside of them. Additionally, most elevators have to be shared with other movers, or with the other residents of the building, which can lead to longer wait times and a larger bill to you.

Spiral staircases found in older Cincinnati homes, while absolutely beautiful, usually are tighter than modern spirals. Large and bulkier furniture items will often times not fit, and some staircases have banisters that cannot be removed to accommodate even the average sized item. This is especially true if the staircase is sharing an external wall. If you're moving into a house or apartment that has one of these staircases, you may want to measure the width, height, and depth against your larger furniture, and check to see if any banisters can be removed. It may also be a good notion to measure the size of the doors, as in our experience, older spiral staircases often times lead to older and smaller door frames. Massive amounts of time can be lost when moving pieces of furniture that won't fit. A few simple measurements can easily resolve that problem before the situation arises.

Parking spots can also create considerable challenges. Inner city moves frequently mean you have limited places available at your disposal to park. In these situations, you'll want to place orange cones on either end of your truck for street parking, and have someone available to watch the contents while your movers are loading or unloading. It is also a beneficial idea to contact the city or building manager to reserve that parking spot according to when you have scheduled your movers. When moving into a recently built home, newly poured driveways usually need to settle for a certain period of months to prevent damage. Large and heavy trucks can not be parked on them because of this, and are therefore diverted to the nearest curb. Please take this into consideration for your move as it means your movers will have a longer space to walk with your possessions, and it will likely increase your charged time. Apartment complexes are normally easier to find a parking spot, but it's still an excellent idea to reserve a spot ahead of time. The closer the truck or conatiner is to your home, the less expensive your move will be.

One last challenge that we've run into is a true rarity. Some apartment buildings or sub-divisions can sometimes have an entrance way covered by an arch leading into the community. Moving trucks are simply to big to drive through these types of entrances. This means a normal truck will need to be provided to act as a "shuttle", or you movers will have a very, very long distance to move your items. In these instances, you will need to budget for more time and more movers. As your Cincinnati moving company, Move Cheap will always be happy to walk you through these situations and help you decide which solutions best solve them.

From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: Furniture Accumulation

It's happened to the best of us. We live in an apartment or a condo for a few years, and when it's time to move to our new home, we have more stuff than we started out with. Since 2005, The Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers have been helping customers throughout the Cincinnati tri-state area move into their new homes. The #1 phrase we hear almost every time is, "I didn't know I had so much stuff." It's always a great idea to take this into consideration before you order your rental truck or moving services. The last time you moved, you may only have needed a 14 foot truck, and everything fit inside fine. The next time you move, you may need to consider a larger truck like a 17 or 24 foot. Families and lives change. Some people have children and acquire toys and child's furniture, while others may have started collecting knick knaks. Maybe you were married in the last year and received a good deal of wedding gifts or joined households. We often see folks order a truck that is too small or are required to make multiple trips because they had more furniture and boxes than they had the first time around.

Also remember that you can call us, your local Cincinnati moving company, to come to your home and give you a free estimate of how long your move should take and what size truck we recommend.

From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, We hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: Labeling Boxes & Direction

As a Cincinnati moving company who has been serving the tri-state area since 2005, our wealth of moving knowledge has given us the ability to offer our customers the smoothest moves possible. One situation we often seem to run into is that customers sometimes forget to label their boxes. This is important for two major reasons.

First, labeled boxes help us load your truck properly. If we don't know what boxes are and aren't fragile, those contents could stand a good chance of sustaining damage.

Second, as we are unloading your truck, unmarked boxes will force us to ask you where each individual box will need to go in your new home. Often times this means our customers will have to open the box to remember its contents. This creates a longer unload time, and ultimately, more money a customer will have to pay.

Another tip to help speed up the moving process is to be sure you are present as we're bringing in each piece of furniture to your new home. Even though we are trained and experienced Cincinnati movers, we unfortunately were never given the gift of telepathy. Being present to tell us where you'd like each piece of your furniture will ensure a much speedier move. Nothing can slow down a move quicker than a mover trying to find the homeowner to ask where a piece of furniture goes.

One method our customers have used in the past was labeling each box and furniture item with a piece of colored tape that corresponds with a particular room. For example: red = living room, yellow = dining room, green = bedroom, etc. As always, organization will always save you money.

From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: Scheduling Your Move

One of the most important steps of the moving process is knowing when to schedule your move, but from time to time we have been forced to turn down a moving request simply because we are already booked. We know that finding that particular day to move is key in any moving situation. As your Cincinnati Moving Company, we are normally available to handle last minute requests, but we've noticed the customer has often not had enough time to prepare to move on these occasions. Here are some tips our experience has taught us to help schedule your move, and assure that our services are not already booked.

  • The first five days and the last five days of each month will always book up the fastest. This is generally the time when leases are up on apartments and those residences are moving. If you're planning to move on one of these days, it is ALWAYS a good idea to give Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers a month to a month and a half notice to guarantee a reservation.
  • Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are the next set of days that book up quickly. These are often the days when our customers are off of work and/or have the time to move. We find that two weeks is usually sufficient time if you'd like a weekend spot.
  • The Summer months of June , July , and August are the busiest season for Move Cheap. This is when kids are out of school and many families use their vacations to move. If you are planning to move during these months, two to three weeks advance notice is a good time to schedule outside of the exceptions listed above.
Keep in mind that these same guidelines can also be considered when setting up a reservation for your rental moving truck (Uhaul, Penske, Budget), trailer (ABF), or mobile storage unit (PODS, Units, GetaSam, Packrat). The sooner you book your move and your moving transport, the smoother your move will be.

From all of us at Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!
