How To Prepare for Hauling
At Three Movers, we are not just interested in providing a hassle-free shifting of your belongings, we are also interested in you having a smooth relocation, settling down properly in your new state and have a great new beginning. We believe that changing environments has a lot of implication on you, your family, finances, and well-being, and that's the reason such moves should be well thought out before making them. Here are some things you should do in preparation for haul.
Visit Your New City
While you can get a lot of information about anywhere in the US on the internet, nothing comes close to seeing things yourself. So take a trip to the city and the specific areas and neighborhoods you plan to live and explore the places a bit. This physical exploration might open your eyes to things you can't see online and that will help you decide on the area and neighborhood that best suit you.
Take Into Consideration the Difference In Living Costs
You also want to be sure on how your new state compares to your current one in terms of cost of buying or renting a house, transportation costs, food, clothing, and other living costs. Is it more or less, is there an advantage in terms of wage/living costs ratio? What about state taxes?
If you are relocating from Florida to San Francisco for example, you know taxes and living costs will become higher though wages are higher in San Francisco. Therefore, make decisions that you can easily accommodate the changes that comes with it.
Secure A Job and Housing
Secure a job before hauling to your new state or at least have certainty that you will find an employment that suit you within three months of relocating. You can leverage your existing network and social media to get a new job over there. Once you've decided to move, you can place an "open for job" notification on your profile on Linkedin and annouce to your online network that you are looking for opportunities in the new state. Be sure that the state has considerable opportunities for people with your kind of education.
While sorting the employment, lock down your housing so you will have a home to move to in the first place. If you are still raising school-age kids, you also need to narrow down your search to specific schools and begin contacting them.
Begin Early With Your Shifting Plans
Start by researching what is the costs from your current state to your new state. Use the information you gather to draw up budget. An interstate move is a long distance move as well. Therefore, you will need to contact a long distance mover that provide interstate hauling services. Contact about three companies for free estimates.
Only deal with long distance relocating companies that are licensed and registered with the FMCSA. Under the regulation of FMCSA, companies are obligated to visit your apartment for inspection and to quantify your items so they can provide you free estimates. So begin contacting companies at least six weeks ahead of your move. By four weeks to your planned moved date you should have contracted a moving company and have your interstate move scheduled by the company.
How To Prepare For Corporate Relocation from State to State
The challenges associated with household relocations from state to state are enormous, how much more a corporate move. Before considering a corporate relocation, you would have counted the costs.
Some of the reasons business move out of state are due to changing demography of target market, harsh economic environment in current state such as high taxes and lack of government support, short supply in talent and other human resources.
Before you make your move as a company, you need to be sure that things will be pretty much better for your business in your new state based on your preliminary research. After that, do all the necessary paper work of closing your business in the current state and opening in your new state. Pay off debts and share assets with all stakeholders. Next is to find an office space in your new state and begin to set the placce up
Moving Your Office Equipment and Employees
Contact companies early to get quotes and schedule an actual date for your move. If your employees are hauling as well, the moving company can also help to move their household belongings.
How To Spot A Reputable Moving Company
With lots of scammers out there and many with poor service delivery, you need to be careful when hiring a company. Here are some things to look out before you strike a deal with a company.
License and Insurance Coverage
A state to state company must be first of all be licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and have a USDOT number. The FMCSA ensures that the companies comply with relevant federal regulations including having insurance coverage. Every professional company will have their USDOT number displayed on their website. You can use the number to obtain their license, safety, and compliance information on FMCSA website.
Physical Office and Presence
You know a company is legit when there is a brick and mortal office somewhere. While online presence and responsiveness is another thing to look out for, a physical office is very important. In addition, you also want to deal with a company that has local presence in your state. National relocating companies have branches or representatives nationwide. There should be a contact person locally that you can walk up to if you have any challenge.
Full Service Company
Work with full service companies, even if you don't require a full service move. The advantage of using a full service mover is because they are versatile and can help with almost anything your shifting requires including full service packing, provision of packing supplies, relocating and storage, loading and unloading, and more to provide a stress free experience for you.
Recognitions and Certifications by Relevant Business Organizations and Associations
The company must also be a recognized business by relevant business organizations and associations in the moving industry such as the American Trucking Associations (ATA) or Better Business Bureau. These associations sometimes conduct background checks and yearly reviews on companies who are their members to maintain membership status.
Standard Practice
Professional movers will follow professional standards and ethics when dealing with their customers. Some of these standards includes home visitation/survey which can be done either physically or virtually. Provision of free in-home estimates, bill of lading and other important documents associated with your move. Any company that promise to give you an online quote without requesting to survey your home is not reliable.
Customer Reviews
Deal with a moving companies that have excellent track record. A company can manage to have all the paper works and yet not deliver excellent customer service. That's why reading customer reviews are important. Go to websites like Yelp and Next door to read what customers say about the company's service. If there are complaints that are common to a specific company, you know that's a red flag already. The least thing you want is a very positive experience with movers so look before you leap.
