If you’re relocating across the country, finding a reliable and efficient mover can be a difficult task. There is a lot you want and things you want to avoid in cross-country movers. But you may be asking yourself: how do I choose the best movers for a cross-country move? Here are some things to look for in cross-country movers to help you select the best company for the job.
Many movers advertise that they provide service across the country, but they may not cover all locations. If you’re planning a cross-country move, check to see if the movers you are interested in provide national service. If you find a high-quality mover that doesn’t go where you need them, you’re better off finding another company.
One of the most important factors you should check for in a cross-country moving company is that they are properly licensed and insured. Professional moving companies will be open about their licenses and insurance so that you know you aren’t being scammed. All professional movers should have a license number, which you can use to search on the U.S. Department of Transportation’s website for any complaints against the company. It’s also essential to make sure the moving company offers insurance just in case something happens to your belongings during the move.
Moving can come with charges for things like packing supplies, large appliance charges, and more. When you’re hiring movers for a cross-country move, make sure to go through all the charges with your movers to avoid any surprises. Don’t sign a contract until you have gone through every fee and any gray area that could provide a surprise later on. Not only should you double-check your charges, but you should look for things like late fees as well.
Once you make sure a moving company meets all of the above requirements, it never hurts to read some online reviews of what customers are saying about the moving company. If you see mainly negative reviews, it’s probably best to avoid that moving company, even if they meet all of the criteria you’re looking for. It’s always best to look for a company that has mostly positive reviews. After all, you are trusting a company to move all your belongings across the country, so you want to make sure that your items will be treated with care.
