Rants about moving
Everyone deserves a second chance, unless the company has left behind a trail of lost or broken possessions. Once you've researched different interstate moving companies and selected a candidate, ask if it's an actual moving company and not a broker. Some interstate moving companies act as brokers, and if such is the case here, you'll need to get the name of the actual movers and research them as well before committing to anything. Interstate moving companies are required by law to disclose any broker relationship. Once you're satisfied that you have made the right choice, you need to ask for certain information from your movers, such as the types of available insurance coverage, clarification of the method used to calculate the total cost of your job, and the type of tariffs charged and how they are calculated.
