BLVD Moving Tips for Kern
Moving in Kern comes with its own set of challenges—traffic, parking, narrow streets, and busy schedules. But with the right planning, your move can be smooth and stress-free. Here are a few quick tips from the BLVD Moving team:
Plan Ahead
Kern is always on the move, and moving companies book up fast, especially at the end of the month or on weekends. We recommend scheduling your move at least 3–4 weeks in advance.
Reserve Parking in Advance
Parking in Kern can be tricky, especially in high-traffic neighborhoods or apartment complexes. If possible, arrange for a designated spot for the moving truck to save time and avoid extra hassle.
Declutter Before You Pack
The fewer items you move, the easier (and more affordable) your relocation will be. Take some time to sort through your belongings, donate what you no longer need, and lighten the load before moving day.
Label Your Boxes Clearly
Unpacking is significantly easier when boxes are clearly labeled by room and their contents. It also helps our movers know exactly where to place each box in your new home.
Plan Around Traffic
We all know traffic can be unpredictable. Our experienced team maps out the best routes and considers peak traffic hours to help avoid delays. Still, the earlier you start your move, the smoother the process tends to be.
