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
