How to Deal with Roadwork or Construction During Your Move

New York is one of the biggest cities in the U.S. which means moving there comes with some unique challenges that don’t necessarily exist when moving to other places.  As an NYC-based moving company, Shleppers knows a thing or two about how to deal with roadwork or construction during your move. We know first-hand that it can be challenging and even frustrating but it’s how you deal with the challenge is all that matters. Shleppers NYC Movers is here with some tips to help you handle the construction while moving.

Keep Calm and Move On

It’s easier said than done, but the first step is to stay calm. No one likes a wrench thrown into their plans, but letting your frustrations get to you is not going to help. Keeping your head steady and clear will help you make a thoughtful decision on how best to approach the issue at hand.    

This tip is particularly useful for times when you are driving in a construction zone. Maybe the traffic is getting backlogged due to this, and you are unable to reach your destination in time. Getting upset isn’t going to help, so breathe and evaluate what is the best course of action.

Make Sure to Schedule Minor Catastrophes

Moving can be stressful, and it can be tempting to fit everything in on a tight timeline. While having a timeline is great, it is wise to expect things to take longer than you expect. That way, if you end up dealing with delays from a street closure or construction, you are not totally derailed from your plans.    

Have a Backup Plan

While not ideal, sometimes moving schedules are affected by factors out of our control. For instance, you might have everything moved out of the apartment and loaded onto the moving truck when an extreme weather event makes getting to your new home impossible. During these types of events, a local NYC moving company, such as Shleppers, will work with you to figure out what happens next.
