One of the most challenging parts of the moving experience is hiring a reliable moving company. Regardless of whether you are moving into a new home, a rented apartment or a new office space, you’ll want to be able to find a quality and trustworthy moving company in your area.
When looking for movers it can be hard to tell if you’ve found a quality company or what you should be looking for to find the best moving company for you. Keep reading to learn some important tips which will help you hire a reliable moving company.
USDOT & AMSA Members
A U.S. Department of Transportation number or USDOT number is an easy way to make sure you are hiring a reliable moving company. This is issued by The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to moving companies, so you know that they are legitimate and licensed.
For more peace of mind, if movers are a member of the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA), you can be sure that they comply with federal moving and storage laws.
Free Estimates Are Provided
When you are trying to find a good moving company, a key indicator is their estimate process. Getting a free estimate over the phone or online is a good start, but a reputable moving company will gladly offer more accurate quotes via video or an in-home estimate.
A more accurate estimate takes an element of stress out of the picture. Knowing that your final bill for moving services will not be far off from the provided estimate, you’ll be able to budget appropriately and avoid any drastic financial shocks.
The Packing Process
Once you find a company you trust, be sure to inquire about their packing process for more details before moving day.
To ensure a seamless move, you should participate in the packing process. This way you can answer any questions your moving company may have, and you can guarantee that everything is packed the way you prefer. You can also provide the movers with an inventory list to help streamline the process. This list will also allow you to compare your list to the movers to make sure everything is there when the move is completed.
