What should I consider before hiring a long distance moving company?
California is 1538.8 miles away from Topeka. It takes approximately 22 hours and 33 minutes to get there via the I-15 and I-70E. Driving a loaded truck over that distance requires an experienced and well-trained individual behind the wheel. When hiring a long-distance moving company, here are a few of the main things that you should look out for:
- The moving company’s certification (license and Insurance)
This is an important step since it lets you ascertain that the moving company in question is legitimate. A good moving company should furnish you with copies of these documents upon request. All moving companies are issued with a unique USDOT number by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Without insurance, the company would not be able to reimburse you if they lost or damaged your belongings.
- Price quotes
A good moving company should provide you with a detailed quote after carrying out an on-site inventory assessment. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, GPS moving company has halted carrying out in-person on-site assessments. We now conduct virtual assessments which minimize the risk of infection for both the client and our staff. A good company will provide you with an itemized list of what the move will cost.
- Deposit
You are required to pay a deposit. A good moving company shouldn’t ask for more than 20% of the total cost with the rest of the money payable on delivery. Fraudulent companies will ask you to pay a higher percentage and insist on it being in cash. Always pay using your card or through a bank deposit so that there is evidence of the transaction.
- Good reputation and experience
You’re entrusting your whole household to strangers. On long distance moves, there are federal laws that need to be followed. An inexperienced company may inadvertently break these laws.
Is a reputation an important factor when choosing a moving company? A good reputation means that the company does a great job. You can check a company’s reputation by reading its online reviews or by checking with the better business bureau.
