What to do while movers are working is a question we hear all the time—and for good reason. You’ve packed, you’ve planned, and now the big day is here. So… what exactly is your role?
At BBX Moving, we believe move day should feel clear and calm, not chaotic. Here’s how to stay in the loop, help the team stay efficient, and avoid unnecessary stress.
1. Be Present—But Not in the Way
You don’t need to direct every box. Our crew knows what to do. But staying available for quick questions—like confirming where a labeled item should go—helps us move faster and more accurately.
Need to step out? Let your move lead know. We assign a project manager to every move so communication is always clear.
2. Keep Pets and Kids Out of the Chaos
Moving day isn’t a great time for little ones or pets to roam. For safety (and sanity), arrange to have kids or animals off-site—or create a closed, clearly marked space where they’ll be out of the way.
This helps the crew move freely and prevents delays.
3. Stay Off the Truck (and Let the Crew Load)
We get it—you want to help. But loading a truck isn’t just about space—it’s about weight, balance, and secure transport. Our crew is trained to maximize space while protecting your belongings.
Step back, take a breather, and trust the system.
BBX also offers plastic box rentals to keep things organized before loading starts.
4. Do a Final Walkthrough Before We Roll Out
Before we close the truck doors:
- Walk through every room with your move lead
- Check closets, drawers, and outdoor spaces
- Confirm items marked as “do not move” are still set aside
This is your last chance to catch forgotten items—and we’ll help double-check.
5. At Delivery: Guide, Don’t Lift
At your new space, we’ll unload, place items, and help reassemble furniture. You can guide us room by room—especially for large pieces. But no need to lift a thing.
Need help with TV installation or disposal? BBX also offers installation and furniture assembly services.
Final Word: Move Day Isn’t a Test—It’s a Partnership
What to do while movers are working is simple: stay available, stay relaxed, and let the team do what they do best.
BBX Moving delivers peace of mind by keeping you in the loop and taking care of the details. Your job? Breathe. Check in. And let us move you forward.
Contact BBX Moving to book your move—or ask how our move managers guide you from start to finish.
The absolute best movers. Tireless workers. Didn’t even take a lunch break. AND they were all very polite. 5+ stars!!
