Hiring a moving service for a local or a long-distance move doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. It also doesn’t have to be time-consuming as many aspects of the mover’s business can be found online, which makes it easy to shorten your potential companies down to just a few.
Once you have a short list of Holy Springs movers, the next step is to actually make contact with the company. Websites often have incomplete information or information may have been changed, which is why a simple phone call can provide detailed information as well as in insight into customer service and support.
Experience with Local or Long Distance Moving
The top moving services tend to offer both local and long distance moving. There is a difference in the two. It is important to verify the company you are considering has experience in the type of move you are undertaking.
This information is often available on the website. Be very cautious of vague or non-existent information about moving services and if there is only a website and not a physical address and phone number provided for the service.
Insurance and Licenses
For long-distance moves, those out of state, the moving company has to have the necessary licenses to transport freight across state lines. Check with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and ensure the company is licensed.
It is also important to verify that the moving company is fully insured. This will provide protection is there is damage during the move. While this is highly unlikely, it is important to verify.
Training and Experience of Moving Crew
It is also important to ask the Holy Springs movers if they train and use the same crews for their moves. Some moving services hire only as needed for moves, which means they are not trained professionals handling your household contents.
Ask specifically about both ends of the move. With local moves, the same crew will typically load and unload, but with long distance moves, there will be a different crew at each end.
