Make Winter Moving Easier

Moving in Cold Weather

Moving is a tough ordeal to put a family through any time of the year, much less during the winter months. But, sometimes the need to relocate is out of one's control due to a big life change, such as accepting a new job or opportunity, which may force your family to pack up and relocate during the cold winter months. If your move is across the state or across the country, the task becomes that much harder. It’s not just being out in the arctic weather that makes the situation difficult, it’s having to keep a close eye on the extreme weather that could affect your transportation plans (e.g. packers, movers, closing deadlines).

One way to help to make the process easier is by selecting a moving service that can help make loading and transporting your items as easy as possible. UNITS Mobile Storage provides the convenience and expertise in transporting your items to help make moving during the cold winter months a snap. This is done by taking one of the most difficult parts of moving in the winter months out of the equation: traveling.

Convenience in Packing Your Items

One of the hardest parts of using a delivery truck in the winter is having to rush to load the truck, move your items and return the truck, all before your deadline so you avoid any of those pesky extra fees. Having to rush packing and traveling is never a good idea, especially during the winter, when the roads are at their most treacherous. UNITS Mobile Storage removes this added stress by delivering your moving and storage containers directly to your home or place of business for you to load at your leisure. There is no pressure to meet tight deadlines nor restrictions on the time you have to load your belongings. This allows you to take time to carefully pack and load your valuable possessions and choose the right days (and weather) to pack your items.

Transporting Your Belongings

Winter makes going anywhere difficult. Traveling with all or most your possessions only magnifies the situation. Winter brings the hardest travel time of the year with snow and ice, which can often make roads slick and unpredictable. This is certainly not the best time for you to get behind the wheel of a bulky moving truck for the first time. UNITS Mobile Storage can take this task off your hands by picking up your storage container when you are finished packing and transporting it directly to your new home for you. Let an expert in winter driving handle your delivery for you.
