Are Good Movers Hard to find!

Moving is a profession of strength, customer service skills and empathy. Although the education requirements to become a mover are low, Movers must have the ability to think methodically to save customers money. I recommend going with an Owner/operator or local business rather than a large national company. Many owner/operators take pride in their work compared to a national franchise that has to hire employees that might not care much about their job. Look for local companies on review sites such as http://www.yelp.com/. I hope your upcoming move is successful!

Characteristics of a Professional Movers

There are going to be countless college graduates this year that enter the working field. Many with big aspirations of being the next big lawyer, Doctor, Stock Broker, etc. The career of a Mover is less glamorous and less attracting to people when looking to a glamorous lifestyle. Movers are necessary to keep the world spinning! A Professional Mover must have great interpersonal communication skills, empathy and a strong back. If your Planning a move in the Aurora, Co area call the Original Movers because they employ only movers that meet those characteristics.

Realistic Expectations of your movers!

If moving furniture was easy there wouldn't be a need for professional movers. Clients hire movers because furniture is heavy, awkward and can severely damage your back. I think that customers should have realistic expectations of movers not expecting that they Move a house within the 2 hour Minimum.

How to properly Load a Moving Truck.

Properly loading a Moving Truck is important for the safety of the furniture and to maximize limited space.

A question that some customers have: Should I tip the Movers?

Do you normally tip when a waitress brings your food at a restaurant? When out for cocktails do you normally tip the Bartender?  Movers provide a valuable service and I think its important that customers show their appreciation for a job well done. How much a customer tips depends on their unique circumstances and their budget. It can be as small as a case of water or as large as a million dollars; no matter how big or small, any from of appreciation to show the movers you acknowledge their hard work and the sacrifice of their bodies to successfully move you goes a long way. So yes tipping your movers is important if they provided quality service with a smile.

Scheduling Movers for your Next Move

As professional movers one of the most heart-rending things we run into is the call we get from someone who is wanting to schedule a move tomorrow -- or even that day.

Fairly frequently we get a call from someone whose friends didn't show up to help, or whose movers didn't (more rare) or who way underestimated how much work it would be, or who just didn't realize that movers might be booked up on the day they wanted.

Most of us don't move often enough to get practiced at it, so there will always be some things we don't know. One important thing to know is that you should schedule any move when you get your date to get in to the new place. It would be good to have gotten the estimates and chosen a mover; and if your are really, really thorough, a second choice -- in case the first one is booked on your day.

This will potentially save you a lot of grief. Moving is stressful enough without last minute worries about who is going to move you.

1. Be prepared
Nothing cost more in life than to be unprepared. There is no time to do any last minute packing or organizing once the movers arrive because you are most likely being charged by the hour. Before the movers arrive have everything packed and near the closest exit. Put all small items that you plan on moving yourself in your car before the movers arrive. Disassemble all beds, dining tables and any other furniture that requires to be disassembled. Make clear paths for the movers to navigate easily.

2. Hire moving labor only
A lot of reputable moving companies are offering moving labor. Moving labor is when you rent the truck from a local truck rental place and you get help loading and unloading. You save money because you don't pay the expensive truck fee that all moving companies charge. If your a true DIYer, you can hire the moving labor for the big stuff only.
