The right moving company will assist you to move your possessions and relieve you of the stress of moving. However, choosing the right mover can be quite a challenge for most people.

Licensed

A moving company should possess a US DOT number issued by the Department of transportation. You can verify their licensure number by checking through the state licensing department. With a licensed company, you will be confident that they have satisfied all state requirements. Therefore, your possessions will be in safe hands irrespective of the distance that will be covered.

Experienced

With regard to interstate moving, the experience of the mover is important. Make sure that you go for a company that has been in business for many years. This is important because interstate moving entails several concerns compared to local moves. There are several state and federal regulations and laws that must be adhered to. Furthermore, transporting your possessions for a longer distance tends to be riskier.  

Quote

Cost is an important factor when choosing a long distance mover. Make sure that you request for a detailed written quote from several moving companies. Take time to compare more than just the costs to guarantee that whatever you need for your move is included in the total costs. This will enable you to choose the right company for the job.

Insurance

You should verify that the company you choose is insured. Long distance moving involves a lot of risks and you may lose your possessions in the process. With an insured company, you will have your items back in case of anything. Make sure that your personal items are covered by the indemnity. Check with their insurance service provider to ensure that their indemnity is valid.

Check virtual reviews

You should check out online reviews to confirm the ratings of the company. Most people who have worked with the company before will give their comments on social media websites. Reading moving company reviews will give you a hint of what the company offers. You can also confirm the ratings of the firm by checking with the Better Business Bureau.

Acquainted with the location

When you are choosing a long distance mover, you need to find one who is acquainted with your current area and where you are moving to. This is important because you will be confident that the staff is familiar with the roads and your items will get to their destination safely.

Moving can be quite stressful, especially if you are moving to a new town or state. Unlike local moves, transporting your possessions for a long distance can bring lots of fears and concerns. This is why you should take time and evaluate the movers that you are considering. With the right company, your items will arrive in perfect condition and will be arranged in the home that you are moving to.
