It's a good idea to schedule your move 4 to 8 weeks in advance to ensure you secure the date and time that works best for you, especially during busy seasons like summer or the end of the month when demand is high. Here’s a general guideline:

1. Local Moves: Ideally, try to book 2 to 4 weeks in advance. While it’s easier to find availability, scheduling earlier will give you more flexibility with dates and times.

2. Long-Distance Moves: For moves across states or long distances, 6 to 8 weeks in advance is recommended. This allows time for planning, packing, and securing transportation for your belongings.

3. Peak Moving Seasons: If you're moving during peak seasons (summer months, weekends, or holidays), aim to book even earlier, as moving companies can get fully booked quickly.

By scheduling early, you’ll have more options and reduce stress leading up to your moving day!
