Before choosing any moving company for hire, there are many steps you can take to ensure that they are the best company to service your move. If you are moving out of state, any company you select should be registered with a US DOT number. In order to verify that they are a licensed interstate moving company, you can ask them to provide you with their number so you can check it on the FMCSA's website.
Additionally, you should check the company's record on the Better Business Bureau website to find out if they have any outstanding complaints from unsatisfied customers. You can also ask the company for references, read online moving reviews, and educate yourself about the proper way to do a background check on a moving company.
There are also many questions you should ask a mover before enlisting their services. Though you said you were already supplied an estimate, it's important to ask your movers about any hidden fees you may incur, and how they could affect your cost. You should also know what type of estimate the movers offer, so you can be better aware of how much you will ultimately end up paying after your relocation is complete.
Moving is a very complicated process with a great deal at stake--you want to ensure that you are enlisting the aid of a reputable, professional and reliable company to make your relocation a smooth and easy one.
