Real Advice from Milwaukee Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Milwaukee. (They’re really nice!)

"When traveling with a larger sized rental truck, I recommend that you take the freeway as close to your move location as you can before driving through the city. Rush hour (9am and 5pm) can be particularly heavy in Milwaukee county so it may be easier for you to chose for your truck check out time to be an hour before those times if you are not comfortable driving a large truck in heavy traffic. Lastly, I recommend using Uhaul truck rentals because they are the most likely to be available at any given time."

"If moving downtown, it's easiest to TRY to block a space for your moving truck as near to your apartment complex as possible. Some apartments require you to reserve a time to block off elevators (if available) so call ahead to find out if this is necessary! "

I cannot express how awesome these guys were. They had a long walk from our POD in the parking lot up and elevator and down a long hallway. They were fast friendly and made it all work for us. I would use them again in a heart beat.

The three guys were wonderful…moved everything from the POD to a designated spot in my basement, keeping a path for us to be able to access everything as we unpack. And they did this all in the rain!

Donte arrived early and was extremely accommodating. Making sure I was good multiple times throughout the move and after the two hours were done made sure there wasn’t anything else that I needed help with. This is above and beyond service and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
