Your moving date can save you money. Rates are highest during the busiest moving days at the end of month to beginning of month. Summer is the busiest season and harder to get the best moving slots. If you can arrange a spring or fall move – chances are you will get a better deal.

If you are booking a mover by-the-hour – always remember limited parking, city and highway traffic will cost you more as the travel time will be slower. If you want the cheapest city move, be sure to book on a weekend. Always check on your local city traffic news and note any of the following:

Street fairs
Marathons
Festivals
Sportsgames
Bridge Closures
Street Closures

For flat rate long distance moving, trucks have to go through weigh stations, move slower than cars on roadways and must deal with heavy traffic during the workweek.

Traffic is one of the top factors that increases a consumers’ costs for various goods and services.

A move well timed is a move done cheaply.
