Have these ready when you call
A short-notice move is priced and booked on one call. The more of this you have to hand, the faster we can confirm a crew.
Local crews and trucks
Based in Salt Lake City, so a same-day crew is often possible and there is no long drive before the truck reaches you.
Priced before it is booked
You get the quote on the call, based on size, distance, access and services, and nothing is scheduled until you say yes.
Home and business moves
Same-day and last-minute residential, apartment, office, retail and partial moves, with storage if the destination is not ready.
Helpful details to include
- Pickup and delivery addresses
- The window you need, and any building or elevator rules
- Rough list of what has to move, including pianos, safes or other heavy items
- Whether you need packing help or short-term storage
Emergency Movers for Urgent Home and Business Moves
Short-notice moves need the same care as planned ones, just compressed. Because our crews and trucks are based in Salt Lake City, we can often fit a same-day or next-day move around the jobs already on the board. The sooner you call, the more options we have, and if a window is genuinely full we will say so and offer the next one.
The call takes a few minutes. We ask where the move starts and ends, what has to move, how much packing or loading help you want, and whether stairs, elevators, parking or building rules will affect the crew. With that we can size the crew, pick the truck and give you a price before anything is booked.
Once a crew is confirmed, an emergency move runs like any other Wasatch Transfer move: furniture padded and wrapped, boxes labeled, floors and doorways protected, everything placed where you want it at the other end. If the destination is not ready, we can hold your belongings in our storage facility until it is.

Emergency Moving FAQ
Common questions about same-day and short-notice moves
Yes, when a crew and truck are open. Call us with your addresses, timing and a rough list of what has to move, and we will check availability while you are on the phone. The earlier in the day you call, the better the odds of a same-day crew.
It depends on what is already scheduled that day and where you are in Salt Lake City or Northern Utah. Because our crews are local, a same-day move is often possible, and we will give you a realistic arrival window on the call rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Yes. Tell us what the other company had planned, including the inventory and quote if you have them, and we will size a crew and truck to match and tell you whether the window can be covered.
Yes. We move offices, retail spaces and professional suites on short notice, and we can schedule evenings or weekends where the building allows so the business loses as little working time as possible.
Our office is open Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings. Evening and weekend moves can be arranged, especially for businesses, and requests that come in after hours or on a Sunday are handled first thing the next business day.
Short-notice moves are quoted the same way as any move: by size, distance, access, packing needs and specialty items. You will have the price before the crew is booked, with no surprises on moving day.
