So to know what it is you should be looking for in a mover and to have more of an understanding on how to find one, continue reading below. Then, apply what you’ve learned and take your time finding the right mover for hire.
- As an accredited mover, they will have a license through the State of Arizona, a registered USDOT number, and other valid certifications.
- Any moving company licensed through the state must also abide by the insurance laws. Every state sets their own laws regarding how much insurance coverage a moving company should offer to their customer. If the minimum isn’t enough protection for you, ask the mover about additional insurance coverage options.
- It’s crucial that the moving company upholds a positive reputation. By reading reviews and testimonials online, you will quickly learn what past customers thought about their relocation experience through the mover.
- They should own or have access to high-quality equipment, tools and transport technology. Trained, experienced employees are also a plus. All of these components guarantee that your stuff is kept safer during the process of moving.
- Available, helpful and kind customer service representatives are a great sign. You want to know that if you have any questions or concerns, they can be addressed immediately.
- Make sure they are capable of handling the type of relocation you have to plan for or a number of moving and storage solutions that they can modify to help you.
Aside from the things listed above, you may also want to look into the mover’s rates. Some of them will have the prices of their services listed on their website, while others prefer that you call in. Nevertheless, it’s important to gather quick quotes so that you can use them with the rest of the learned information so that you can make a wise decision on who to hire.

The Cost of Moving
You won’t likely get an exact cost for your moving services until the professionals have come in to inspect your home or until the entire move has been carried out. This makes it hard to determine how much you owe. Unless you know what it is that affects the cost of your moving services. Here are some of the things that will affect what you owe the movers…
- How much all your stuff weighs (your belongings are weighed once they’re loaded onto the moving truck)
- How many miles the movers must travel from one location to the next
- The price of fuel per gallon at the time of the move
- What services you choose to take advantage of
- How much time the move takes to carry out and how many laborers are needed

Of course, other matters might also sway the cost of your move but it all depends on the movers you hired. If you’re worried about the price being too high, there are ways you can keep the cost lower. Here’s how…
- Go through all your stuff and throw away anything no longer of use. If it is in good condition, you may want to consider selling it. The less stuff you have to move, the lower the cost of moving will be.
- It’s wise to use the proper packaging materials while packing but you can cut corners by using newspapers, linens and other soft materials around your home to bundle items so they don’t break or to fill voids in boxes that you’ve already packed.
- Opt out of optional services even full packing services. Although it’s a lot easier to let the movers pack for you, you can choose to pack on your own to save more money.
- If possible, try to schedule your move during the slower months of the year when movers tend to drop their rates. You may also want to inquire about any discounts or promotions you might be able to take advantage of.
