The "Typical" Moving Day

Most local residential moves are a one-day process. While multi-day and long distance moves will vary in their timing and duration, the process is essentially the same. A general timeline of a move is provided so you know what to expect during your relocation (exact timeframes, start times, etc. will differ).
