5 Reasons to Trust a Moving Company

September 21, 2021

Moving can be stressful, but finding the right moving company can make things significantly easier. Here are five things to look for when choosing a trustworthy moving company!

Free Estimates

Determining exactly how much moving your life across town or across the country may not always be easy, but reputable moving companies will always provide an estimate before you need to commit to a particular company. This way, you can compare prices across companies to help you decide which one will best meet your needs.

Licensed and Certified

Legitimate moving companies are properly licensed and certified. This gives you peace of mind that they are professional and dedicated to safety compliance. Ask for their US DOT number - a requirement for all moving companies by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Upfront Pricing

Reputable companies will always determine the total cost of a move before getting started, and there won't be any surprises once you get to your new home. Although pricing a move before knowing how much space you need to move your belongings and how much they weigh isn't always possible, moving companies should also provide a few sample prices on their websites.

Movers Are Employed by the Company

Movers employed directly by the business shows that the company is invested in their employees and committed to providing more than just day labor. They often provide a more personalized service than independent contractors providing for multiple companies.

Good Reviews

Trustworthy moving companies should have several good reviews from satisfied past customers on their website, Google, Facebook, and other locations. Researching the experiences other people have had with a particular company can give you a better idea of its reliability and overall quality.
