While the 418.2-mile distance from California to Nevada may not be that big, moving a household over the 9 hours and 48 minutes it takes to cover that distance is no small fete. Luckily, GPS Moving Company has got you covered. Our clients are always guaranteed of a fast, secure, and on-time delivery every time they partner with us.
What should I look out for when choosing a moving company especially during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Choosing a moving company requires the utmost patience. Partnering with the wrong moving company may cost you a lot of money. Extensive research should be done before settling on the one that fits your needs.
Check the following:
- Covid-19 protocols
The coronavirus has killed over a hundred and eighty-five thousand people across the United States. A good moving company should have measures in place to mitigate the risk of contracting the virus:
- The company should provide masks, gloves, and hand sanitizers for their employees. At GPS Moving Company, we go the extra mile and provide shoe covers upon request.
- The moving company should closely monitor their staff for symptoms of the coronavirus.
- The company should frequently clean and disinfect their offices and trucks.
- Because the virus can survive on surfaces for a long time, moving companies should not use recycled boxes to pack their clients' belongings.
- Responsible moving companies shouldn’t carry out face-to-face on-site assessments. This increases the chances of contact and consequently, the risk of infection. Virtual on-site assessments are safer.
- License and insurance
A legitimate moving company will have a USDOT number allocated to it after registering with the U.S. Department of Transportation. The company should also be insured. A company that’s not insured will not be able to pay you back in case your belongings are damaged during the move.
- Cost-effective
Although the cost of moving shouldn’t be the only determining factor when choosing a moving company, it is important to ensure that you get a good deal. A good moving company will furnish you with transparent rates. Each move is different depending on the distance to be covered, the type of building you’re moving in to, and many other variables. Be sure to ask what constitutes additional fees.
- A great track record
A good moving company should have years of experience with a successful track record to match. This can be quantified by the number of positive reviews online.
How should I prepare myself for the move?
During these coronavirus times, everyone must play their role in helping to reduce the risk of infection. Here are a few things that you can do to help:
- Disinfect your belongings.
- Pack your belongings and let them sit untouched for 24 hours before the move.
- Notify the moving company of any sick or elderly persons in your home.
- Have masks, gloves, and sanitizers at hand.
- Wear a mask during the move.
