Long distance moving involves several stages and is considered the most complex of relocation types. This is why selecting quality long distance movers is so crucial. This new Alpha Moving and Storage article will help you with that crucial task by providing some essential tips.

Understanding More about Long Distance Moving

Because of the high costs involved, long distance moving is conducted with 50′ trailers. Normally, several shipments will be combined on a single trailer, allowing both movers and consumers to cut down on the moving costs. Because shipments are shared, movers determine charges by calculating the exact amount of space each shipment takes in the trailer. They do that by either weighing the shipment, or by calculating the exact space it takes in the trailer. A basic charge unit, a rate per pound or a rate per cubic foot is used to calculate exact charges.

Finding out More about your Long Distance Mover

Becoming more familiar with your long distance movers is crucial for making the right choice. You should make sure the moving company you are considering has enough experience conducting long distance relocation. You should also ask for references from other long distance moving customers. Lastly, check the Better Business Bureau reputation of all relocation service providers you are considering.

Making Educated Choices

Once you are familiar with the terms and conditions of the estimate and understand the basic charge unit, it is time to make an educated decision. Be sure to compare the basic charge unit, the price per pound or the price per cubic foot. Also, you should go over all the possible additional fees – prices for packing and packing materials, flights of stairs, certificates of insurance and so on.

    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!
