The best advice for anyone looking to move and hire a moving company to do so is to PLAN AHEAD! Angie’s List says it best on their ‘Tips for Consumers on the Move.’ It’s also a good idea to begin researching and contacting potential movers at least a month in advance and begin to get pricing and estimates.

The article also talks about checking credentials, licensing, and insurance of the mover that you are looking to hire for your move. You can do this via the U.S. Department of Transportation (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) website as well as each state’s consumer affairs agency or attorney general. You can also transport certain sentimental or valuable items yourself or in your own vehicle if you deem them as irreplaceable possessions.
