Reputable Moving Companies

Stress and moving pretty much go hand in hand. When possible rent a moving truck and move everything yourself. Who else can you depend on?   Well in a perfect world that would be the way to go, as long as everyone is very careful, items are packed well and you have a strategy in place in case of vehicle mishaps, volunteers not showing up.  More on that next blog.
Credential checking:What is the moving crews status with the company? Back round checks?  Temporary Employees? What is the company's U.S. Department of transportation registration number.  Twenty-eight states require both state and U.S. DOT registration Florida is one of the twenty-eight states  that requires State and US DOT registration.

Remember if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.  Unrealistic price breaks, very low estimates probably indicate foul play.
It is difficult to trust a company with all of your belongings.  Moving company scams are definitely on the rise with more than 4,000 scams reported each year across the nation.  Read more on moving scam information  moving scams  and fox business.

Most moving companies are reliable, just do your research.
Until next time,
