Fuel surcharge and peak rates

Hopefully everyone has been enjoying the low fuel rates these past months. Not only has it been cheap to drive around town but moving across the country has been cheaper as well.

Recently the surcharge has been 1% and that translates to very low fuel surcharge that the costomer pays. For instance this last summer we had months that it reached over 20 percent so you are basically saving almost 19 percent on your move. So it's a great time to use professional movers to help with your relocation.

Also, we are coming into the busiest time of the moving season. If you are planning on moving try and plan ahead and not move during the peak times. During these times a lot of moving companies will charge peak rates which will end up costing you around five percent more. Typically the peak rates are used on the last and first fiave days of the month.

We would be happy to explain any of these cost saving tips in further detail. Happy moving.
