Long-distance relocations require extensive planning and coordination. One of the best ways to simplify the long-distance moving process is to select a team of qualified and reliable movers to help plan and execute your relocation.

Unfortunately, with so many moving companies out there, it can be challenging to choose a trustworthy team to handle your long-distance move. Below are five questions that you can ask long-distance moving companies to ensure that you hire the right team for the job.

1.) Are You Licensed?

One of the first questions that you should ask is whether potential movers are licensed. Hiring a team of licensed movers will help protect you should something go wrong. Moving companies should be more than willing to provide you with their licensing information to demonstrate that they are operating legally and will comply with regulations designed to ensure the safety of your items. Behrens Moving Company is proud to be licensed and is always happy to help you verify our licensing information.

2.) What Are Your Qualifications?

Before you hire a moving company, you should inquire about their qualifications to ensure that they are equipped to handle your relocation. Some of the things that you can ask about include experience level, accreditations, and certifications. Behrens Moving Company is one of the most qualified moving teams in Milwaukee. Our qualifications include:

  • Nearly a Century of Experience
  • A BBB Accreditation
  • A ProMover Certification

3.) Do You Provide Free Estimates?

Reputable moving companies will be happy to provide you with a free pricing estimate. Generally, moving fees will be calculated based on weight, mileage, or cubic feet. If a company refuses to give you an idea of pricing, you should consider this a red flag and move on with your search. At Behrens Moving Company, we are always looking to make your move easier and would be delighted to discuss the details of your relocation and provide you with an estimate at any time.

4.) What Services Do You Offer?

Before you decide which company to hire, it is essential that you ask about what services they offer. Some customers require full-service moving assistance, especially if they are moving long-distance, while others just need a bit of help with the heavy lifting. Be sure that any companies you interview can provide you with the services you require. At Behrens Moving Company, we offer an extensive list of moving amenities, including:

  • Packing
  • Crating
  • Unpacking/Debris Removal
  • Storage
  • Vehicle Shipping
  • Piano Moving
  • Third Party Services (Assembly/Disassembly, Disconnect/Reconnect, etc.)

5.) Do You Have References?

Finally, you should ask for references. If your moving company has a proven track record of successfully helping clients with their relocations, chances are that you will have a good experience with them. Reputable movers should have no problem providing you with reference information. You can also check online reviews.
