Moving during the Summer means you probably don't have to worry about missed school days for the kids.   It's warmer outside which puts most people in a more energetic mood and may get you some extra help! Summer is peak moving seaso n for moving companies so make sure and schedule your move well  in advance.   Moving rates generally go up in the Summer, if you can schedule in the Spring even if your move date isn't for a few months out,  you may avoid the rate increase. Saturdays are the busiest, if you can move during the week like on a Tuesday or Wednesday, your mover and the moving company will likely be less hectic and better able to give you one on one attention. It's Hot, this can pose a danger to you and your mover.  It's a good idea to keep everyone hydrated.  A 24 pk of water and a bag of ice cost less than $10 and can make a big difference!

Your movers will do much better if they don't get heat exhaustion.  A five minute break in the shade with a bottle of water can keep your mover at top performance.
