Let’s be honest: moving is one of life’s most stressful events. Between packing, organizing, and coordinating a thousand moving parts, it can feel overwhelming. That’s why hiring a professional team like Yeah That Movers is a total game-changer. But did you know that there are a few simple things you can do to make moving day smoother for everyone involved?
As a professional moving company, we wanted to share a few tips from our own experience to help customers know how to treat their moving team with the respect and consideration they deserve. Trust us, a little etiquette goes a long way!

1. Hydration = Appreciation
Our movers are lifting, hauling, and hustling for hours on end. Offering bottled water or sports drinks is a small gesture that says, "I see your hard work, and I appreciate you." You don’t need to provide a buffet—just something cool to drink is more than enough.
2. Give 'Em Room to Work
Avoid scheduling other services like cleaning crews, cable installers, or handymen during your move. Movers need space to maneuver large furniture and stacks of boxes. Having other services working at the same time can cause chaos and delays. Keeping the path clear helps us work safely and efficiently.
3. Keep Pets and Kids Safe & Secure
We love animals and children, but for everyone’s safety, please keep pets confined to a separate room or crate during the move. Young children should stay by a parent’s side and not roam through active moving areas. It minimizes distractions and keeps everyone safe.
4. Pack Like a Pro
If you're doing your own packing, please make sure all boxes are properly taped and sealed. Loose flaps or overfilled boxes can lead to accidents or damage. Also, clearly label your boxes with the room they belong to (e.g., "Kitchen," "Master Bedroom") to help us unload quickly and correctly.
5. Trust the Process
We understand the desire to keep your move on schedule, but it's important not to dictate how long the job should take. Our team works carefully to avoid mistakes or damages. Rushing us can compromise the safety of your belongings. Trust our experience—we're here to do the job right.
6. Transparency is Key
At Yeah That Movers, our pricing is clearly outlined in the FAQ section of our website. We believe in honesty and transparency, including our policy that drive time back is charged on all jobs located 25 minutes or more from our warehouse. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Final Thoughts
Moving day runs most smoothly when everyone is on the same page. With a little planning, communication, and courtesy, your moving team can do their job with efficiency and care. And if you’re in the Upstate area, we’d be honored to be your go-to crew.
Happy moving!
