“We used A & M for the first time today and they will become our movers of choice from now on!! JT & Zack helped us move a very large furniture piece, swap out washers and dryers between two homes both raises beach houses with directional stairs. They arrived promptly at the appointment time, were professional, moved things with care and thought and after using some others in the past few months it was a breath of fresh air to have great service that exceeded our expectations. Would recommend!”

Moving in Raleigh-Durham: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Raleigh-Durham. Here’s what we plan around.
Book bulky pickup ahead
Raleigh residents with curbside garbage service can call 919-996-3245 to schedule bulky item collection. A load can be up to four cubic yards; put it on a flat spot at the curb, not in the street, on your scheduled day.
Never bag recycling
Raleigh wants recyclables loose in the cart and never in plastic bags. Break down moving boxes so they fit loosely instead of packing them in bags.
Cart timing and spacing
Set carts at the curb the night before or by 6 a.m. on collection day, at least 3 feet from cars, mailboxes and poles. Bring them back in by 7 p.m. after pickup, and keep the moving truck clear of them.
Plan around I-40
I-40 runs from Wilmington through Raleigh and RTP to Durham and Chapel Hill, and the stretch from Harrison Avenue to Wade Avenue carried about 193,000 vehicles a day in 2023. I-440 loops around Raleigh, and I-40 in Orange and Durham counties is being widened, so leave extra time.
NC State move-in week
NC State’s fall move-in happens in mid-August, and the university asks drivers to avoid Varsity Drive, Dan Allen Drive, Cates Avenue and Morrill Drive. Check the move-in calendar before booking a move near campus.
