While all people will agree that it is important to carefully research the reputation of the long distance moving companies they are considering, few people actually research their movers thoroughly. A simple search on the internet will provide you with hundreds of different results for long distance movers, each claiming to be the most reputable there is. It is your responsibility to make sure you are actually dealing with a reputable and honest long distance moving company.
Checking the Mover’s Reputation by Using Unbiased Sources
The first places to check are the BBB and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. These are unbiased sources of information. If a company is conducting its business in an honest and straightforward way, it should have a good record with the Better Business Bureau and no major violation complaints with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Checking Licenses Location and References
The mover’s license numbers should prominently appear in all its communications and contracts. License numbers will help you to ensure you are dealing with an actual long distance mover and not with a broker that will pass on your scheduled move to an unknown moving company.
Your best bet is to select a mover with actual headquarters in your immediate area. Such a mover will be able to provide you with an on-site estimate. Also, it is a good idea to ask for references from past customers who are willing to recommend the movers and the services that they provide. Remember, a thorough examination of the mover’s reputation will ensure that you’ll experience a smooth and trouble-free move.
