Moving day is finally here, however, it's during the holidays. Under certain circumstances, you must move during the holiday season, which is an unpopular time of the year to relocate. You may have a lot on your plate during this time of year, but when you hire our professional Utah moving company, you'll have more time to plan out other parts of your relocation during this hectic time of year.
It's the season giving, so before you move to Salt Lake City, donate to some charities to not only lighten your moving load but to also give to those in need. Donate clothing, electronics, toys, etc. to charities like Goodwill, The Salvation Army, and Goodwill. Make sure to also save your donation receipts. These receipts can really come in handy as the holiday season marks the end of the tax year. This can also help put money back into your wallet, especially after a pricey move.
While you're planning out your move, anticipate heavy traffic during the holiday season. Most roads will be packed with folks traveling into town to see family as well as holiday shoppers. Avoid long-distance travel around Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Years, as these are the busiest days of the year for travel.
