A random internet search to find moving companies that will assist you with your long distance move from New Jersey to another state will produce dozens of results.
Flashy, graphic filled websites with tempting promises about unmatched prices are easy to find, but how can you tell which ones will provide you the best service?
Long Distance Service Providers
There are several types of long distance service providers that will feature in the results of your internet search.
- Local, NJ based moving companies with actual headquarters in your area.
- Moving companies based in other states.
- Brokers and web directories.
Let’s talk about the last two options first to demonstrate the advantages of using a local NJ Mover.
Moving companies based in other states will attempt to perform pick ups along their delivery route. For example, a company based in California that has drop offs in NJ will attempt to schedule pick ups so as not to come back empty.
Although many of those companies are legitimate, the fact that they do not have an actual physical location in NJ may hinder their ability to provide you with quality manpower and moving supplies.
As for brokers and directory services, here you actually enter the unknown, as your booked move will be passed on to a third party of which, in many cases, you know nothing. Obviously, this is a situation that you want to avoid.
Local NJ Movers
The only way to ensure that you will receive quality service is to use a local NJ mover:
- Check the mover’s actual physical address.
- Make sure that the mover is licensed and has a DOT number.
- Visit the mover’s local headquarters and check that the trucks and facilities it boasts of are real.
- Ask for references from people who performed a similar move.
