As Labor Day approaches, many people in Indianapolis are making plans for one last summer getaway, a backyard barbecue, or some well-earned rest. But for Wheaton Moving & Storage, and for movers across the country, Labor Day weekend is far from a break—it’s one of the busiest times of the year.
While the holiday honors American workers and their contributions, it also highlights the very real labor behind every successful move. At Wheaton, we want to take a moment to both recognize the hardworking men and women on our team and help customers plan ahead for a stress-free move during this high-demand season.
Movers Are Working Hard—Even on Labor Day Weekend
The moving industry is rooted in hands-on, physical labor. Our teams load trucks in the summer heat, navigate tight timelines, and handle your belongings with care and professionalism. Labor Day is a time to celebrate workers like ours, who keep families and businesses on the move—even when others are taking time off.
At Wheaton in Indianapolis, we know how much our crew gives during the peak season, especially around the holiday weekend. That’s why we’re asking our customers to help make their move smoother by planning ahead.
Why Labor Day Weekend is Peak Season
Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, and it’s a key time for:
- Lease transitions as apartment and rental contracts reset
- College students moving into dorms and off-campus housing
- Families relocating before the school year fully kicks off
- Companies scheduling fall relocations
This means our crews, trucks, and storage resources are in extremely high demand during this window. Booking early ensures you get your preferred moving date and enough time to prepare properly.
Tips for a Successful Labor Day Move
Here are a few ways to make your Labor Day weekend move efficient and stress-free:
- Book Early
We can’t stress this enough. If you’re moving in late August or early September, schedule your move now to lock in availability. - Declutter Before You Pack
Save time and reduce costs by getting rid of items you no longer need before moving day. - Label Boxes Clearly
This helps our movers work quickly and ensures items end up in the right rooms at your new location. - Plan Around Traffic and Closures
Labor Day weekend in Indianapolis often brings festivals, events, and road closures—factor that into your timeline. - Be Mindful of the Heat
Indiana summers are no joke. Make sure you stay hydrated and allow movers to take safe, needed breaks.
