Hiring A Mover

Moving is an inevitable part of life. Whether you’re going away to school, moving houses, downsizing, etc., we all have to pack up our things and go at some point in our lives. But what happens when you have lots of things and not enough time to coordinate, pack it all up and move? You hire a mover. AA1 Self Storage, however, realizes that this is no easy task. Who can you trust enough to treat your possessions as if they were their own? We’ve compiled a list of what steps to go through before making the important decision to hire a mover.
  1. Look around. Don’t settle for the first moving company you talk to. Think of it as a dating game before settling down for marriage. Call several companies and get different prices in order to find the one mover that’s right for you.
  2. Review reviews. Check out some local reviews to get the inside scoop on the moving companies you may be considering. Yelp, Google and MovingScam.com are great places to check.
  3. Make sure you get a written agreement on an estimate what your bill is going to be beforehand. The last thing you want before moving is the added stress of a surprise bill. Add up everything the movers will have to take, including stuff you might not even initially think of.
  4. Ask for licenses. Make sure the mover you hire is licensed with the federal government and has a US DOT number and is certified to cross state borders.
  5. Exchange numbers. Be sure to get the number of the truck driver who will be helping you with your move.
  6. List of fees. Nobody likes a hidden charge.  Ask for a list of fees prior to make sure everything you are expecting is included.
  7. Get everything insured. For your protection, make sure you have all of your possessions ready and insured for a cross country or even a cross city move.
