Finding a Florida Mover

When you’re looking for a moving company in Florida, it makes a big difference if you’re moving locally within Tampa, for example, or if you’re moving across the state from Miami to Orlando. There are movers who are specialists in local moves inside Tampa, and there are movers who are better qualified for long distance moves. In part, this qualification comes from the equipment that the movers have available. There are different requirements for moves that go across the state. While a truck that’s small and fuel efficient can be just the thing for a low cost local move, having larger trucks available make a long distance move seem much easier. There are also tie downs, covers and packing materials that can help keep your precious household goods and memories safe for a long ride.

In addition, long distance movers need to be experienced with different locales and the requirements for permitting, deliveries and safe handling of goods. There are different regulations in Miami than there are in Jacksonville. There are areas of Tampa that are simpler to move to or from, and areas of Orlando that are hard to navigate with a large truck in the summer. There are movers who do these things better than others. There are movers who are better locally.

In order to find the right moving company, a person might ask around to friends who have recently moved. They might get a good recommendation or two, but they also might not know what the detail of the friend’s move was and how it compares to their own move expectations. The referral can get a person part way there, but it’s important that the person moving interview the movers personally. Understanding how the moving company typically approaches a move, what their cost structure is and how to communicate with them best is part of what any moving company interview in Florida should help a new client understand.

Using fivemoversquotes.com, it is easy for a potential customer to input basic information about themselves and their move, and to be assigned to a move counselor. This person is a professional move manager and project planner, and their job is to make the move as simple as possible.  No matter if you are moving in Miami or moving in Tampa, the move manager has assets in your area that can help make sure your move is flawless.

Once your move counselor fully understands your move needs, they are submitted to five different moving companies. These are professional, established and security conscious firms that move people’s businesses and residences as a matter of course in their jobs. They are able to ensure quality is the main part of the equation for a move. They understand where you’re coming from with your concerns about the move, and they will take the time to discuss things thoroughly with you.

Comparing Two Moving Companies

Putting the moving industry to any kind of standard sometimes seems like incredibly difficult. There’s not much that can be done to regulate the industry in this regard – however, there are some things you can do as a consumer to make sure you’re comparing the right stuff.

1. Know the actual name of the companies you’re comparing. Some companies operate under different names called trade names, or DBA names. You want to get the actual legal names of the companies you’re dealing with, because you want to check them on the registry of moving companies that is kept by the federal government. When a company is approved as a moving company, but isn’t registered to have any trucks or just has one truck that runs limited miles per year, you can be assured that they work as a broker. They will take your information and sub contract your move to another firm. They may offer you a lower quote than others, but they will also not be in direct control of your goods while you are moved to your new location. This can be significant if there is damage or loss.
2. Make sure that your contract or paperwork defines what happens when your goods arrive at their new location. In particular, it should be clear about where your goods will be placed when they are removed from the truck. If you are doing a door to curb move, it’s fine if the paperwork is vague. If you’re expecting door to door service, and your goods are left on the curb that could be frustrating for you. Additionally, one of the most common problems people run into with less than professional moving companies is a price change. Once the goods are loaded on the truck, the movers have full control over the situation and some less than ethical, less than professional movers will try to leverage that in order to increase the cost of the move. Make sure that your contract spells out protection for you in terms of price.
3. Determine what your responsibility is for damage to goods during the move. There could be insurance offered by the movers, or by your homeowners insurance. There could be no coverage that the team holds. Insurance for your goods is an important item to know about, and different carriers handle it differently. Even the largest carriers can have insurance differences.
4. Compare the costs including incidental items. If you’re making a long distance move across Florida, does your quote include mileage or fuel? Does it include a place for your movers to stay on their overnight? Make sure that the details of the move are the same on your quotes before you make a costly decision!

Understanding your move contract is important, since your contract is binding once signed. There are very few professional and transparent moving companies in the business. Not all movers are dedicated to making sure that the client understands the move process. Some movers are in the business to make as much money as possible, and don’t care much about a client’s belongings. Just like other businesses, there are disappointing people in the moving industry. Take care that you’re working with someone who is truly dedicated to the moving business, and will take your move very responsibly and seriously.

Different Kinds Of Movers

While moving is moving, there are some details that differentiate a moving company. In fact, when selecting a mover it’s critically important to make sure that they are able to work on a move like yours. By giving the moving company’s representative accurate information about your move and your expectations, you can develop a better rapport and your move plans can come together seamlessly.

Some movers focus on local moves. That means, a move within Miami, but not outside of Miami, would be their best work. These moving companies tend to have fewer trucks, and they tend to be smaller. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. They also tend to offer less or no insurance, and have a more difficult time flexing with scheduling and plan changes.

Some movers focus on long distance moves. That means, a move between Tampa and Jacksonville or a move from Orlando to Miami, would be their best work. These movers tend to be larger and have bigger crews and more trucks. They will also be more inclined to offer insurance and other perks to their clients.

Moving companies can specialize in commercial moves, residential moves or industrial moves. The different focuses of the moving companies help define the equipment that they have available. They also will have more experience, and more references, for their specialized line of work.

For unique moving jobs, like piano moving in Florida, or moving of heavy equipment, or moving furniture into a building without an elevator, there are specialists who will do this well. Again, the equipment they have access to is a big part of their expertise, but they will also have experience in moving large and heavy items in strange situations. Sometimes, when working with a local or long distance mover in Florida, you will find that they sub out some of the work like this to other professionals. This way you are assured that your goods are getting the best treatment possible. It is up to you if you are comfortable with the outsourcing or if you would like to have one single point of contact that is directly responsible for all of your goods and services.

Finally, there are movers who are ethical and there are movers who are not. There are definite differences in the approach that various people take to the business of moving. Some people seem like sharks, trying to get whatever they want out of the deal. There are some clients who perpetuate this bad attitude by paying short or not paying on time, or by altering the scope of the previous agreement without discussing it with the mover.

Be a good client and select a great mover! You will not experience as much stress, your belongings will get where they’re going without a problem, and you will be able to sit back and relax knowing your things are safe.

Planning Your Move In Florida

You may be moving your company across town to new offices – that can be a very exciting time! It can also be incredibly stressful, planning the new space and thinking about closing operations down for a few days while your team gets settled in their new home. Today’s technology and moving best practices can allow your company to stay up and running while you move, without disruption. Movers who specialize in business moves will be able to help you plan an approach that keeps everyone working as long as possible.

Your move may be residential in nature. Moving house is one of the five most stressful things that can ever happen to a person. Unless you are very excited about the move, you are likely to find things to worry about! You want to partner with a mover who is not only qualified and capable, but who is also accessible. You want to have a move planner and coordinator who is able to take your calls when you have a question. You also want to determine what the movers’ expectation is for client contact. Will you check in weekly or monthly leading up to the move? What can you do, in the movers’ opinion, to make your move easier?

Determining how you’re going to approach your move in Florida is an important first step to getting your move right. The plan details are something you can finalize with the move vendor but a lot of the requirements definition and development of the scope of the project can be done ahead of time if you sit down and think about it. For instance, do you plan to move mostly boxes? Or do you plan to move boxes and furniture? What about pets? Are you riding along with the movers? And do you have anything that you would consider fragile?

It’s not what the movers think about your move that matters the most. It’s what you think of your move. So take control of your planning and see if you can develop a vision for you move that will help it progress quickly and easily.

Fivemoversquotes.com does the hard work of finding qualified, professional and honest movers for you. When the moving companies submit quotes or give you a call, they already know the key points about your move because you’ve been asked the right questions. The moving companies fivemoversquotes.com partner with only include the best and the brightest. They are not fly by night companies, and they will remain available during the course of your move.

Having that consistency of care can be very important. Moving is stressful. Even if you pack your most personal prized possessions carefully and drive them in your own car, any breakage or damage can be devastating. Make sure that you have a solid idea of what your move should look like before you set out, to avoid drama down the line!
