Long Distance Movers
Planning and executing a interstate haul to or from Port Townsend, Washington is a big project, and if you haven’t moved recently, it can feel overwhelming. Once you start the search, you will most likely get solicitations from multiple carriers and brokers offering their services. Before you entertain brokers’ offers, ensure that you know how to assess their reliability.
Like state-to-state shifters, brokers who arrange work for customers crossing a state line must register with FMCSA, which stands for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. That’s the agency that regulates these commerce. Brokers can only negotiate transactions on behalf of haulers with which they have a written agreement, and they must have access to the mover’s tariff (that’s a list of policies and prices.) Using a broker might save you time and money, but there are some shady ones out there, so be sure that you check their registration on the FMCSA site before you consider them.
Also, keep in mind that either the broker or the mover must complete a visual survey of the household goods shipment before submitting an estimate. And if you hire a relocators through a broker, make sure you have the contact information for both, not just the broker.
Local Hauling Corporations
Moving locally in Port Townsend is typically easier than shifting long distance since you don't have to wait weeks for delivery, and you can often supervise the entire trip. Still, it's essential to choose the hauler carefully. Ask for recommendations from family and friends and then ask the mover for references from recent customers who will give feedback about their service. Ensure that the mover has a valid business license, a permit from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, and adequate liability insurance.
