Summer Moving Season 2025: How to Secure Your Slot Early

As the snow melts and the school year wraps up, the busiest time of year for the moving industry begins. Summer moving season (May through September) is when nearly 70% of all relocations happen.

If you are planning a move in Colorado Springs for Summer 2025, the strategy is simple: Book Early.

Why the Rush?

Several factors collide to create the “perfect storm” of demand:

1. School Schedule: Families want to settle in before the new school year starts in August.
2. Military Cycle: Peak PCS season aligns with summer.
3. Weather: People prefer moving when they aren’t slipping on ice (though we move year-round!).

When to Book

• For May Moves: Book by early April.
• For June/July Moves: Book by early May at the latest. Flex dates disappear fast.
• For August Moves: Book by June.

Pro Tip: The last weekend of the month is always the first to book up (lease expirations). If you can move mid-month or on a Tuesday/Wednesday, you’ll have more options and potentially better rates.

Beating the Heat

Colorado sun is intense. Moving day can be hot.

• Start Early: We like to get the truck loaded during the cooler morning hours.
• Hydrate: Have water available for your family and the crew. A hydrated crew is a happy, efficient crew!
• Pet Safety: Pavement gets hot enough to burn paws. Keep pets inside or at a friend’s house.
• Perishables: That cooler of food from the fridge won’t last long in a hot truck cab. Plan to transport sensitive items in your personal vehicle with A/C.

Flexibility is Key

If you have a strict closing date, get on the calendar ASAP. If you have wiggle room, let us know—we might be able to slot you into a cancellation or a less busy day for a smoother experience.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

Every year, we field frantic calls in late June from people whose “friend with a truck” cancelled or who thought they could book a mover 3 days in advance. Don’t let that be you. Secure your professional team now so you can enjoy your summer.
