If you’re moving long distance, even the thought of moving day can be overwhelming. But with a little planning, the journey will be stress free. Hercules Moving & Storage, which serves the residents of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, has a professional team of movers that specializes in cross-country relocations. They’ll tell you how to make your move as easy as possible.

First: Don’t try to do this on your own. It’s best to hire a moving company for a long-distance move. Not only will they have the trucks, packing materials, and movers who know exactly how to safely relocate your possessions, you’ll save an enormous amount of time and energy as you gear up for this major transition. 

Once you’ve settled on a moving company, establish your relocation date and book a reservation. Generally, scheduling movers a few months ahead is sufficient. This way, you’ll have enough time to start eliminating or donating items you don’t want to put on the truck.

Then, decide whether you want to pack your items or if you’d prefer the moving company’s help. If it’s the latter, come up with a plan for grouping your possessions based on the rooms they belong in. Additionally, plan out where you want your furniture to go in your new home. It’s best to measure the items and the doorways, halls, and stairways in your new place to make sure the movers will be able to maneuver through these spaces with ease.

Finally, leave your new address and phone number with a trusted family member or friend in case of any emergencies. The moving company will also need this information, along with an existing back-up phone number in case they need to reach you.

Since 1985, Hercules Moving & Storage has made thousands of long-distance moves. With a fleet of fully equipped moving trucks, a crew of trained movers, and Saturday and Sunday availability, the A+ Better Business Bureau-rated company is committed to exceeding your expectations.
