While the actual amount of time varies again depending on the size of your home actually packing up a house and loading it can take a minimum of 8 hours when all said and done. With local moving being one of the most popular with moving companies the actual transporting of your things takes the amount of time it takes to drive from point A to point B if you’re moving 15 minutes away, then around 15 to transport your things. If you’re moving 45 minutes away on the other side of town, it will probably take within an hour to transport your things. Keep in mind that this does not count how long it takes to unload your things.
