Moving Soon? Here’s How to Get Ready for Your Movers
Moving can feel overwhelming — but with the right preparation, it doesn’t have to be. At Haul’n Hustle, we make moving simple, safe, and stress-free. Whether you’re relocating across town or to a new business location, this step-by-step guide will help you get ready before moving day arrives.
1. Make a Moving Checklist
A checklist is your roadmap for a successful move. Write down key tasks like:
Scheduling your move date
Gathering packing materials
Changing your address
Disconnecting utilities
Pro tip: Spread out tasks over several days or weeks to avoid last-minute stress.
2. Declutter and Downsize
Don’t pay to move items you don’t need. Sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or toss.
Haul’n Hustle also offers junk removal services — we’ll haul away old furniture, appliances, or debris before moving day.
3. Gather Packing Supplies
You’ll need:
Boxes (various sizes)
Packing tape and labels
Bubble wrap or packing paper
Mattress and furniture covers
Using the right supplies protects your items and saves time during loading and unloading.
4. Label Boxes Clearly
Labeling each box with its contents and destination room saves time and confusion.
Color-coded labels or markers (e.g., blue for kitchen, red for bedroom) make unloading easier for your movers.
5. Set Aside Valuables and Essentials
Keep important items like passports, jewelry, medications, and chargers with you — not in the moving truck. This ensures you have access to them right away.
6. Prep Furniture and Appliances
Before moving day:
Defrost and clean your refrigerator
Unplug and drain appliances
Disassemble beds and tables if needed
Haul’n Hustle can assist with light furniture disassembly or setup upon request.
7. Clear Pathways for Movers
Make sure hallways, stairs, and driveways are free of clutter. If possible, reserve a parking space for the moving truck near your entrance to save time and effort.
8. Communicate with Your Movers
Share details with your Haul’n Hustle crew, such as:
Fragile or specialty items
Tight stairways or narrow doors
Specific loading/unloading preferences
Good communication ensures a faster, safer move.
9. Pack an Essentials Box
Include a few key items you’ll need immediately:
Toiletries and towels
Change of clothes
Snacks and water
Chargers and basic tools
This box should travel with you for easy access.
10. Relax — Haul’n Hustle Has You Covered
