Professional movers are able to load and unload a truck without breaking or damaging items. While some are faster than others, most movers can empty a home in a few hours. When the movers arrive, they will get to work. If you have packed boxes yourself, it will take movers even less time to complete their job. Check with the moving company to see if you can use packing materials other than the ones they use. Some companies will not move boxes unless they know they are strong and protect the contents inside.
