Generally, the summer season is the busiest time for moving households. Plus, the first and last weekends of any month are usually busier than mid-month, regardless of the time of year. If you have the time, plan well in advance to schedule a moving company if you will not be moving yourself. Deciding whether to use a moving company can come down to just a few critical factors including money, time, complexity and difficulty. In addition, a cross-town move may be easier for self-packing and loading, while a move across country may require a professional service. Once you have made that decision, getting your goods into your new home should be fairly straightforward. Highway 80 bisects Summit Park and intersects with Highway 15 providing a gateway to Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo and the Great Salt Lake.
