FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions What is a short haul move? This is a move that is less than 450 miles. Make sure to inquire with your moving company as you may have to pay long distance charges even for short haul moves. What is a local move? This usually refers to moves that are less than 100 miles and within the same state. What is an intrastate move? This refers to a move of more than 100 miles within the same state. What should I do if I haven’t finished packing by my moving day? If you realized you won’t be finished packing by your move date, make sure to inform your moving company as soon as possible. You may be able to hire professional packers to help you finish the job or move on a different date. Your movers may be able to pack up a small amount of items, but you will end up paying more for the move. What is a moving kit? This is a kit that has been designed by professional packers to include everything you need to pack an entire home or apartment. How soon in advance do I have to book one of your movers or packers? This depends on the availability. However, you should contact a moving company as early as possible once your moving date has been confirmed. The summer months are always much busier so you may require more notice. What is a high value article? This refers to any items in a shipment that are valued at more than $100 per pound. What is long carry? You may be charged an additional fee if the moving van can’t come within a certain distance from the entrance of your destination. This is generally 75 feet, but you need to check with your particular moving company. ? How can I make sure my items are moved to the correct room? Choose a consistent labeling system such as color coding your boxes or labeling them with consistent letters for their specific location. For example, boxes can be marked with blue to indicate the living room or DR can be written to indicate the dining room. Does a moving company need to be licensed? Moving companies are actually registered. This means the federal government has issued them a certificate of authority that allows them to move household goods in any of the 50 states. Local moving companies may also be registered with the US Department of Transportation to move interstate shipments within certain geographical areas. Why is there no phone number on your site? We gather the information you provide and send it to several different moving companies. It is an automated system and to continue to keep it optimal, quick and free of charge, the overhead of a call center is not a priority for MovingTruckService.com at this time. We would like feedback on the above decision if you would like to share. Why do movers place shipments from more than one household on a trailer during long distance moves? This is much more efficient and allows the moving company to lower their costs. Direct shipments are usually available, but they will cost you more. Should I purchase valuation insurance? Check with your homeowner’s insurance policy to see exactly what is covered. Depending on your particular policy, you may want to consider purchasing valuation insurance in case of damage during your move. |
