Moving is a major and stressful event, regardless if you are moving across town or across the country. If you choose to hire a professional company to help you with this ample task, choose wisely, as this choice will determine whether you’ll end up in hell or in heaven. What you should have in mind is that once all your belongings are put on the truck, you have little control over what happens next. This is why a proper, thorough research into the moving companies is the key to saving you from troubles in the long run.
Verify company’s references
One thing you may not have thought about is that, while many moving companies have their own web sites on the Internet, a lot of them do not have actual premises. Check each company’s website for clearly stated physical address and landline number.
Xpress Movers has its own headquarters and, although many moving specialists provide nationwide services, their head office allows for all their work to be better organized and prioritized.
Fully Licensed and Insured Movers
Every legible and reliable moving company must be licensed and registered by the proper government authority. For moving companies that provide cross-state relocation services a U.S. DOT number, issued by FMCSA is required. You can check all registered interstate movers on the official U.S. Department of Transportation site.
Reliable, customer-oriented movers can be easily distinguished from the rest by asking them relevant questions – you need to spend some time asking for additional information. Some things you may be interested in are: how to contact them – their office, email and company addresses, local and toll-free phone numbers; DOT and MC license numbers; references). This is the best time to ask for insurance coverage, as you would receive the information from the source and it will be updated.
