If you’ve never hired professional movers before, you might wonder what to expect on moving day. What will they do first? What do you do? What’s the protocol? Here’s a clear, realistic picture of what a professional Cheep Cheep Movers crew looks and acts like on moving day in the Twin Cities.
Arrival and Introduction
A professional crew arrives on time — or calls ahead if there’s a legitimate delay. They arrive in a clearly marked, clean moving truck with the right crew size for your job.
The crew leader introduces the team and does a brief walkthrough of your home before touching a single box. This walkthrough identifies large items, specialty items, staircase challenges, and anything requiring discussion.
You can point out fragile items, items you want handled with extra care, and any items you’ll be transporting yourself.
The Packing Phase (if applicable)
If you’ve booked full-service packing, the crew divides the home by area and works systematically room by room, wrapping and boxing items with professional supplies.
If you’ve done your own packing, the crew will do a quick assessment of boxes to ensure none are obviously unsafe to carry (too heavy, inadequately sealed, etc.).
Loading the Truck
Furniture is blanket-wrapped before it leaves your home. The crew uses dollies for heavy items and carries lighter items by hand.
Loading follows a specific order: heavy, stable items on the bottom and against the truck walls; lighter or fragile items on top and in protected positions.
You’re welcome to watch and direct, but standing in the movers’ path is a common hazard — give them room to work.
Transit and Arrival
A professional crew drives carefully and securely. Items are strapped in the truck before departure.
At the new home, the crew asks where each item goes — have a floor plan or clear directions ready.
The crew places furniture where you direct and stacks boxes in their labeled rooms.
Final Walkthrough and Completion
Before the crew leaves, do a final walkthrough of the old home together, then check that all items were delivered to the new home.
Any concerns are addressed before the crew leaves. Payment is made, and tipping is appreciated.
A good professional crew works hard, respects your space, and leaves both homes in good condition. That’s the Cheep Cheep Movers standard.
