Packing Guides

With the recent launch of the CA Dream for All program, we’ve been speaking to dozens of first time home buyers about their journey into their new homes. Moving into your first home can feel exciting, but also overwhelming.

When moving day arrives after weeks or months of preparation, there tends to be a wide variety of emotions that are felt. These feelings can be both positive and negative.

We’re sure that most of you can agree on this, but it seems as though each passing year has been going by faster and faster at an exponential rate.

Moving out of state is perhaps one of the biggest decisions you will make in your life. You’re not just moving to another city where you may have been a few times and know the layout already, or somewhere within close enough proximity to people, you see regularly.

Moving is stressful in general, and now many people are facing a global pandemic on top of that. We sat down with Aaron Steed to ask some questions about moving during COVID-19 in hopes of eliminating misinformation and encouraging the safest moves possible.

In mid-March, it felt like our entire country stopped. Non-essential businesses closed their doors and everyone hunkered down to weather this pandemic together. There are, however, many things that kept moving forward – perhaps your escrow closing or your lease expiring. That’s where we come in.

As we enter a new decade, Team Meathead set some big New Year’s Resolutions for 2020.

We would never say that we are professional event planners, but we sure do have the muscle to execute event planners’ visions.

Every single day, our Meathead Movers Call Center hears stories about the adorable pups and cats (and some other interesting animals!) that will need to be accounted for during a big move.

With five branches and more than 700 employees, Meathead Movers has a lot of moving parts (pun intended) that need to be managed by a skilled team of Operations Managers.

As a company founded by athletes for athletes, Meathead Movers has maintained its mission of supporting its employees as they work their way through college in pursuit of the American Dream. Many of our employees have gone on to become professional athletes, who have then returned to us as customers when they need to relocate for a job.

Estimate the number, sizes and material (tape, paper, etc.) of boxes you will need in advance. People tend to underestimate the number of boxes they need. We encourage you to talk to your Move Coordinator for guidance about preparing for your move.

Afraid of that giant pile of technology sitting on your desk? We know what you are thinking, and getting that computer into a moving box is not the first thing on your bucket list.

Most of us have fond memories of making forts in our living room as children with our old moving boxes, right? Perhaps that's just me.
