Weekend Moves: Pros and Cons
Trying to choose between a weekday
move and a weekend move? (See the secret to getting the best of both below.) When
you make a short-distance or cross country move with
Square Cow Movers the experience is sure to be great no matter what day you
load up the truck. But each option has its pros and cons.
Weekend
Pro: You Don’t Have to Take Off Work
Your
9-to-5 job won’t get in the way of a weekend move. That’s why a lot of people
choose to move on Saturday.
Weekend
Con: Everyone Else is Moving
Movers are very active on the
weekend. Even if they got their move started during the middle of the week,
they may be using trucks or other moving services.
Weekend
Pro: Less Traffic
After
loading up the truck you’re halfway home and ready to get things done! But then

Con: You Don’t Get a Breather

sacrificing all of your relaxation time. Try to find ways to take breaks

Weekday
Pro: Easier Scheduling
Since

availability.

Con: You Have to Work Around Work

schedule.

Pro: Service Providers Are Readily Available
On the
weekend you may need a last minute service or piece of equipment that’s not
available until Monday. Not a problem if you move on a weekday.
Weekday
Con: Don’t Have Two Consecutive Days For Moving
A
mid-week move may mean getting things moved in one day and not giving it your
full attention again for
Get the
Best of Both Moving Days
Want to
know what many veteran movers believe is the best day to move? The answer is –
Friday!
We’ve noticed the same trend that
teampackers.com found when they analyzed their moving
data. Friday is now the most popular day for moving. One out of five
movers choose to load up on Friday followed closely by Saturday (18%). Use that
PTO for a Friday move and you’ll get more of the pros and less of the
cons.
