  • Peace of Mind: Trust experienced movers to handle your belongings safely from start to finish. Plus, when you book with HireAHelper, you get our $1,000 service guarantee.

How HireAHelper’s Labor-Only Option Works

Your movers can help you load up the rental truck. Moving across the country? Get help loading your PODS in Franklin and help unloading in your new time zone.

Pro tip: Book ahead as far as possible to get the best rates!

Tip 1: Keep an Eye on the Weather Before and During Your Move

The weather in Franklin can change quickly. Watch the weather in the days leading up to your move so you can plan to protect your belongings with tarps or waterproof covers from rain or snow. Check a live Franklin weather radar and forecast the morning of your move, and recheck it before heading to your new home.

Bonus tip: If you're anxious about rain, consider moving in July or August, which are Franklin's dryer months.

Tip 2: Check for Road Closures on Moving Day

General construction, major traffic accidents, or flooding associated with heavy rain can temporarily close Franklin's streets. Before you hit the road in your loaded-up moving truck, check the city's website for road closures. Planning a new route is easier than getting a fully loaded moving truck out of a traffic jam.

Bonus tip: Download the WKRN Weather Authority App to monitor rain and other conditions that could impact your move.

Tip 3: Donate Things You Don't Want

Don't spend time and money moving things you won't use in your new home. Donate items to local agencies, such as

Call agencies or check their websites to see what type of items they take before you try to donate them.

Bonus tip: Schedule a pickup if you have large items, such as sofas, chairs, tables, dressers, and patio furniture, to donate—the GraceWorks Thrift Store will come get your items for free.

Why Book Your Franklin Move with HireAHelper?

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Franklin

Avoid driving a moving truck on I-65 and the Mack Hatcher Parkway during peak morning (7 am to 9 am) and afternoon traffic times (4 pm to 6 pm). Traffic backs up on both major roads.

Your home type and the neighborhood you're moving to or from can impact costs. If movers need to navigate stairs, elevators, or a steep driveway, the job may take longer. Since most movers charge by the hour, more time worked typically means a higher overall cost.

You might get lower moving quotes and more availability during late fall and early spring due to a decreased demand for movers. Mild temperatures can also make your move less strenuous without the ice or snow you might face in the winter. If cost is your primary consideration, the cheapest month to move in Franklin is November.

Yes, movers can help you unpack if you choose that add-on service. Some moving companies will include it for free, but others will charge a fee for packing/unpacking. Be sure to check a moving company’s policies for what services are included in their baseline rates.

Connect with residential moving companies via the HireAHelper platform. Booking very close to your moving day might increase costs, so you want to give as much notice as possible.
