What Day of the Week Should You Plan Your Move?

What Day of the Week to Move?

There are pros and cons to moving on any day of the week and the day you choose can have an impact on the overall moving cost.  When you move during one of the least busy days of the week, then the move will be more efficient, faster, and cheaper.  Past moving trends have shown the best times and days of the week to move to speed up the process and have a lower cost.

Early Bird Gets the Worm

When you want to beat the traffic and have an easier move, we recommend moving with an arrival time between 8:00am-10:00am.  Now, the best days of the week to schedule a move are mornings, Monday through Thursday.  It is also recommended to move in the middle of the month, between September and April.  Fridays and Saturdays are the two busiest days of the week because people tend to take work off Friday hoping for the rest of the weekend to relax.  However, traffic tends to be more chaotic and you’ll have a tougher time finding movers with availability because of the higher demand. 

The middle of the month is ideal since the first and last week of the month are busiest as leases start and end.  Additionally, schedule a move between September and April to avoid the busiest and hottest months of the year.  If you can rearrange your schedule for your upcoming move, you’ll find that moving during these times and days is going to be far easier than moving during a weekend, or hot summer month.
