Picking the right mover is extremely important. Having the right mover on hand to pack and move your stuff can take much of the strain out of moving. You have to make sure that you hire a mover who is backed by solid references. Look at his online reputation as well, and call references to see what kind of experience they had with him.
Is it a local mover that you want to hire, a long distance mover, piano mover or a furniture mover? You must first figure out the service you require from the wide range of moving services that are available, and then look for a mover. You may find a lot of differences in the mover’s quotes that are provided by two movers for the very same service, so be patient and get estimates from at least four different movers. Also verify the mover's license with the US DOT, STATE DOT or ICC. Don’t forget to write down each item that is included in the moving cargo.
Put certain things in black and white, like the date of the move, as well as the date of delivery to your new place if it's going to be a long distance move. You must get a bill of lading done as soon as he is done with the loading. Movers work hard to load all your stuff, so if you can provide him with some refreshments or beverages, he's sure to appreciate it! There’s no harm in being nice to somebody who has worked so hard for you. Remember to tell him about things that might affect the move – for instance, if there's a floor at the new place that's extra slippery, or your new landlord is very particular about loud noises, then discuss all that with your mover, so he can avoid any injuries or inconvenience to others in the building.
