Peak moving season is typically May through September of every year, and if you’re planning to move across the country in this timeframe, it’s vital to reach out four to six weeks early to ensure you can reserve your moving day with the moving company of your choice. Once you have reached out to your moving companies, start doing your research on the best movers in the group. The first tactic to find trustworthy, professional cross-country movers is word of mouth. Ask anyone you can about moving companies they have used and see if you find any common companies. Word of mouth and the personal experience of a trusted friend or family member is the best approach. However, you should also do some additional research on the companies just to be sure which one is right for you. Look for an engaged and active online presence with positive and recent customer reviews.
