About Wherley Moving and Storage
Wherley Moving was founded in York County in 1920 by J.D. Leonard. It operated under the name J.D. Leonard Moving and Storage until 1978 when the name was changed to Leonard-Wherley Moving Systems to reflect the transition within the family to another generation of movers. Now the name is Wherley Generations, Inc. to reflect the past, present, and future generations of family members that operated our business. In 2017, Wherley Generations opened a second location in Timonium, Maryland to better serve our customers with their moving, packing, and storage needs. Currently, the fourth generation is working to provide the best moving services possible to Central Pennsylvania and Maryland communities.

The busiest times for moving companies are typically during the summer months, May-September.
If you are planning a move during that time you should make arrangements early.
Friday and Saturdays are big moving days so if you have flexibility in your schedule it can
be easier to get a date during the week rather than a weekend.
On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
