Every moving company that you will contact regarding your upcoming local or long distance move, will crown itself as the most reputable, trustworthy and cost effective since relocation truck wheels were invented. So how can you actually tell the good from the not so good?
In this Alpha Moving and Storage post, we will take a look at some proven methods that may help you to find out more about your moving company’s real reputation.
Do your own Research and use Unbiased Sources
As mentioned above, all movers will claim to be reputable, especially the terrible ones… So it’s basically up to you to do some in-depth research.
The best way to go is to use unbiased sources such as the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation. The recommendation is to take off companies that have a lot of complaints and violations from your list of moving companies.
Make sure that the proper license numbers appear on the estimate and contract that the moving company is offering you.
Going Local is Always a Good Idea
When it comes to moving, your best bet is always to use a local company that can send a representative to your house and provide you with an on-site written estimate. Make sure that the company has facilities and resources in your area and that it has the necessary trucks and equipment to perform the type of move you require. It may also be a good idea to ask for local references and pay a visit to the company’s headquarters in your area.

Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!
