Moving can be either a great adventure or a greater headache. Since we don’t know anyone who enjoys headaches, we thought we’d share some tips on how to make your next move go smoothly so that you can sit back, relax and enjoy the adventure. Of course, the best way to do this is to call the Student Movers.
This seems to be a big question for some. The answer is yes and not just because we’re movers. Service workers such as wait staff, cabbies, bellhops, bartenders, newspaper deliverers, and movers are typically tipped if they provide good service.
The more mistakes you make on this test, the fewer you’ll make on moving day. 1. The thing that people who are moving forget most frequently
Make no mistake about it, California is a big state. The third-largest state in the United States, driving from the Mexican border in the south to the Oregon border in the north is 15 hours without traffic.
Got kids? Then this move is as much about them as it is about you. Maybe you’re changing abodes to give each of them their own room, put them in a better school district or offer them more outdoor space for playing.
You’ll find loads of information on how to pack for your move from moving companies, home magazines and consumer websites. But this is only the first half of the process. Unpacking, which almost nobody talks about, is just as important.
Moving can be an exciting prelude to a better location or a more desirable way of living. However, to minimize any potential problems, save money, and make the process go as speedily as possible, you want to organize your move in advance.
Moving is a stressful experience and becomes compounded when you find yourself faced with the bevy of moving companies that operate throughout California. You may start to worry about how to find the best moving company to ensure that your belongings arrive in a safe and timely manner.
One of the most important parts of moving are the supplies that you use to help you move! After all, those items are what get you from A to B! It is very important to start this process with good packing supplies because this will ensure that your items get to your new location without any damage.

DDT sounds like you’re being charged double for drive time but that’s a mistake! The California Public Utilities Commission requires all moving companies to charge DDT on hourly rated moves. DDT means you are charged for the time between the old house (origin) and the new house and the moving company is responsible for the drive time between the warehouse and the origin. DDT actually SAVES you money!
Please allow a one hour window for the movers to arrive. Example: 9am-10am
