TNT Moving Systems of Charlotte Announces New Location

T-N-T Moving Systems of Charlotte, NC is a professional moving company that has been working in the area for over 20 years. Recently, T-N-T has moved locations to 5000 Nation’s Crossing Road Suite 120 Charlotte, NC 28217. “We are in the habit of moving others, but this move was different,” says Tom Tulowiecki, co-owner of TNT Moving Systems.

As professional residential and commercial movers and the official movers of the Carolina Panthers, Todd Koepke and Tom Tulowiecki of TNT Moving Systems, have many years of experience moving items from one location to another. “We knew we could handle the process. But you never really know how much stuff you have until you move it,” says Koepke, “We should have followed the advice we give to our customers and got rid of the stuff we never use before we moved.”

For years, T-N-T Moving Systems has been located at 206 E Woodlawn Road in South Charlotte. Their new location is very close to their old one at 5000 Nations Crossing Rd Charlotte NC 2817. “We didn’t have to move far, and we hope this new location will be just as convenient for our customers,” says Tulowiecki. Their new location has more space and offers easy access to the interstate. “Most of the time we are traveling to our client’s homes rather than them coming to our office, so we needed a location where we could get to the interstate easily.”

According to several sources, when looking for a reputable moving company, clients should make sure the company has a real brick and mortar location. Sources also recommend hiring movers that have been in business for years and have ties to the community. “There are lots of fly-by-night moving companies out there, and we want to reassure our clients that we are not going anywhere. Charlotte is home to us and we love serving our community,” says Todd Koepke. 

T-N-T Moving Systems will continue to serve Charlotte and the surrounding area from this new location. “We help people move from all over North and South Carolina,” says Koepke. T-N-T Moving Systems offers local and long distance moving services for residential homes and businesses. Their moving services include packing, loading, unloading, transporting, and specialty item moves like pianos. They are licensed and insured.

How to Move in Rainy or Snowy Weather





How to Move in Rainy or Snowy Weather
If you are planning an off-season move- after labor until early spring- there is a higher chance you will be moving in bad weather. At TNT Moving Systems we have had a fair share of bad weather moves and can offer some tips to help keep your belonging safe and sound!

Step 1: Monitor the weather the week of your move. Being prepared for a wet move can really help speed things along on moving day. If bad weather is predicted for your move day, give your moving company a call. Rain or snow could mean delays.

Step 2: Protect your belongings if bad weather is predicted. At TNT Moving Systems, you can have us wrap your furniture with shrink wrap, or you can prepare ahead of time and do it yourself to save a little money. Be sure to use plastic masking tape to seal the plastic. This will help keep moisture out of your furniture. Always remember to wrap your mattress in plastic- no matter the weather- this will help prevent mold from growing. 

Step 3: Use laminated boxes if available. If you can’t find laminated boxes, consider shrink wrapping them. This is offer some protection from rain. Be sure to label your boxes as well so the movers can unload them in the right place.

Step 4: Prepare for the Movers. Before the movers show up, make sure they can get to your house. Be sure the roads are open to traffic. Also, be sure all paths such as sidewalks and steps are clear of snow. If it has recently rained, consider laying down large pieces of cardboard to make pathways. This will help reduce mud from entering your home. 

Step 5: Keep in Touch with the Movers during the move. Bad weather can cause delays. Stay in touch with your moving company to make sure things are running on time. Also be sure to check items thoroughly once they have be unloaded from the truck.

Moving on the off season is sometimes necessary and can often be a lot cheaper. So if you are moving between now and spring, be prepared for rain or snow. If you need a free moving quote, click here. TNT Moving Systems does local and long distance moves. We also specialize in piano moving.

Planning your Cross-Country Move



Planning your Cross-Country Move


At T-N-T Moving Systems, we are very familiar with cross-country moves. As the official movers of the Carolina Panthers, we move tons of equipment to several locations across the country for away games. So we know that planning a cross-country move can be exhausting. Thankfully, since we have so much experience, partnering with us for your long-distance move is a great choice.

Moving locally is challenging, but moving to a new city or state can be downright overwhelming. It is also an exciting time. Take it one step at a time and ask for help! Here’s a handy checklist to follow:

1.      Find housing in your new city. Whether you are buying a new house or renting, you need to first determine where you will be moving. If moving in with friends or family, find a storage unit to store your belongings.

2.      Set a moving date and get organized. Get quotes from movers, set up a folder in your email or a physical folder to keep all stuff pertaining to the move. Set a budget.

3.      Get boxes. Either order moving boxes or gather them from local stores. Start packing about 6 weeks before your move date. Label everything!

4.      Book your movers. In the summer months, it is much busier, so schedule your movers ahead of time.

5.      Make travel plans for yourself, family, pets and plants. Will you be flying or driving?

6.      Find all valuable documents: auto registration, passport, birth certificate, insurance policies. You will want to carry these with you instead of putting them on the truck.

7.      Back up all computer data just in case these electronic get damaged during the move.

8.      Get rid of stuff you don’t want through Craigslist or a yard sale. Or donate to local charities.

9.      Set up mail forwarding service and cancel or change subscriptions. Be sure to update Amazon and Netflix with your new address.

10.  Plan your meals so you use all your perishable food. Also, use up all chemicals that can’t be moved like bleach and aerosols.

11.  Cancel memberships to organizations like health clubs.

12.  Notify utility companies of your move: Electric, Water, Gas, Phone, Cable, internet, sewer, and trash services.

13.  Notify others of your move like government agencies, doctors, vet, insurance company, banks, etc.

14.  Pack an essentials box to keep with you during your move.

15.  Schedule to have house or apartment cleaned when you move out.

This checklist is not an exhaustive one, but it should help you stay organized for a cross-country move. We have been moving folks in and out of Charlotte for over twenty years.
