How to Move in the Charlotte Area - Good Advice From Local Charlotte Movers



We all know that moving is not an easy task. But each city across America presents its own moving challenges based on the layout of the city. Charlotte Movers, T-N-T Todd Koepke says “Charlotte is one of the easier cities to move within, but it still presents its own set of challenges.  Booking early is the key to success!”

Here are some additional tips from T-N-T Moving Systems for people moving in Charlotte:
Plan well in advance of the actual moving day, and pick the right time of year.  People move in Charlotte year-round, but a lot of people wait until summer. The big benefit of moving in the summer is that school is out for the kids.  Kids will not have to change schools in the middle of the year if you can time your home closing correctly.  It may also be easier for mom and dad if they aren’t worried about picking kids up from school. 

For many families with kids, fall, winter, and spring are the best times of year for moving. In Charlotte we have especially sticky summers compared to other US cities.   There may be states hotter than ours in summer, but most states experience a very dry heat. For Charlotte movers it’s probably better to avoid the uncomfortable humidity.

Allow at least four months in advance of the anticipated moving date to plan your logistics. If moving to an apartment in Charlotte, many complexes fill up months in advance, so it’s never a good idea to wait until the last minute to find your next place. And when you’re thinking about where to move in Charlotte, scout out the different neighborhoods that you’re considering. Do you want to be convenient to Uptown, the University, Independence, Mathews, South Park or Ballantyne? Each of these areas of town comes with their own set of unique advantages, so do your research and find out which area is right for you!

And lastly, it is important to hire Charlotte movers that have experience transporting goods within the city. Charlotte traffic is rough any time of day. It can be difficult to get all of your things in one trip in a rental truck and especially if you are using your own vehicle. Taking trips back and forth across Charlotte can be nerve wracking, especially when you’re carrying precious cargo. Let movers that are familiar with the area worry about traffic!  They know what they’re doing when it comes to wrapping up and protecting your valuables.

Moving in Charlotte can be hectic, but hopefully these tips can help you make the right decisions.  If you need help planning please don’t hesitate to give us a call at T-N-T Moving Systems.
