Differences Among Local Moving Companies?

August 25, 2017Priority MovingMoving TipsNo Comments

When researching different local moving companies, you read things like “not all are the same,” which is true. However, that tells you nothing about what differentiates one mover from another. Instead of guessing, consider the following information, which outlines what some of those key differences are so that you end up choosing an incredible company for your upcoming move.

Thing to Look For

  • Online Presence – The fact is that honest and trustworthy local moving companies are proud to display information about their business, services, prices, and so on. Because of that, the best movers typically have a stronger online presence. With nothing to hide, this gives you the opportunity to conduct more detailed research on things like licensing and insurance standings. You can also get the company’s physical address, making it possible for you to drive by or stop in to confirm everything the company claims. Typically, dishonest movers do not take the time to post online.
  • Standard and Add-On Services – The type and caliber of services that moving companies offer also differentiate. Top-rated local moving companies will offer a host of standard services as well as add-ons, including packing and unpacking, piano moving, vehicle moving, and so on. In comparison, questionable movers claim to provide the same services yet cannot prove it or offer only a few minimal services.
  • Moving Crews – Even the people hired to move goods differ from one company to another. For example, the best movers use company employees who are 100 percent professional and dedicated. However, other companies use temporary or seasonal workers who have little if any training and no real devotion to the business or the customer.
  • USDOT Number – The kind of local moving companies that you want to consider have a USDOT number that you can check and verify. Unfortunately, there are companies without this number trying to fly under the radar. Without a USDOT number, there is no way for you to know how many accidents a moving company has had, the number of trucks and moving crews they use, and their level of reliability.
  • Customer Feedback – One of the challenges is that unsavory moving companies hire people to write positive reviews, meaning the information is bogus. When researching local moving companies, pay attention to what former customers post. Usually, the wording is a clear indication of which company is honest versus dishonest. Although customer feedback is helpful, you should never depend on it alone when deciding on the company to hire.
