Why you should hire a moving company
- Speed: The experience, equipment and training enable movers to work fast. Moving companies use trolleys and ramps to move heavy items much faster than human labour. A single trolley works at the speed of three people.
- Protect your items: Moving companies know how to keep your items safe from packing to moving and unpacking. They routinely handle moves and hence counter any possible accidents. They wrap the items safely and strap them on moving equipment to avoid any damage. Items are packed in padded boxes and loaded in air-cushioned trucks. The experienced drivers are aided by real-time satellite tracking to avoid potholes and extreme weather.
- Cost-effective: Hiring movers can be more cost-effective than self-moves. The company arrives with adequate moving resources which ensure there are no shortages on moving day. They work within the assigned timeline which eliminates the possibility of additional expenses due to delays. Moving companies also have insurance for all moves they conduct. In case accidents occur, the customer is repaid accordingly.

How to find the best mover in St. Joseph
Move around the neighborhood or workplace and ask a few familiar faces about their experiences with a moving company. You can know whether to contact the company or discontinue your pursuit. Most people will offer vibrant reviews if the company had exceptional services. Note down the companies and run them on review websites.
Sites such as Yelp or Better Business Bureau allow customers to narrate their experience at the hands of moving companies. Check through the comments to determine the company’s level of experience and how they handle customers.
Ask several listed companies for an in-house estimate and compare their rates. A reliable moving company will hand you a full estimate with no hidden costs. It points out the delivery window, total moving charge and extra services. Ensure that you inform the company about all the items you want moved to avoid surprises on moving day.
Run the company’s USDOT number on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association to verify the company’s authenticity and competence. The association ensures all movers operating across states are licensed and insured. You can also check whether the company provides supplemental insurance for delicate and valuable items.
Simplify your move with these awesome tips
- Draw up a moving budget after the company hands you an estimate. Get several templates online and use them as a guide. This ensures you don’t incur additional expenses during the move.
- Scale down your stuff. We tend to amass too much stuff over time that we rarely use. Some items may also be damaged or outdated. Sell or donate them to reduce the moving weight charged and increase your hauling efficiency.
- Get free boxes from org or the U-Haul customer exchange forum. Clean and tape them along the edges. You can also pad them on the inside with towels, blankets or recycled newspaper.
- Exchange contact information with the movers and confirm the delivery address. You don’t want your items being shipped to a similar address in a different city.
- Avail yourself on delivery day to inspect your items. If there are any damages inform the mover and lodge a formal complaint if necessary.
