local moving companies

Take solace with the thought that we are rated a 5 star moving company in Tampa.

With so many moving companies in Tampa it comes down to picking the one you feel most comfortable with. So that leads to you asking yourself a few questions about what you want to look for in a moving company.

Should they be licensed?

We would say you generally want a licensed moving company so if anything happens you can trace them by license (USDOT) number. When booking a moving company ask for their license number and check to make sure it’s legit online at US department of transportation federal motor carrier safety administration or FMCSA for short. This will tell you everything about a moving company so you will be protected. By going with a moving company that is non- licensed you risk your items getting stolen or broken.

They gave me a really cheap deal should I book them?

There is an old saying of if it’s too good to be true it probably is and this is the case with moving. You might think you are getting a great deal but more than likely the company will have dozens of unexpected hidden charges that will come back to haunt you. These will range from services fees, holding fess, mileage fees, handling fees, fuel fees and whatever else they can add on to the price once the move is complete. If you are stressed about the move now, you will be even more stressed after dealing with one of these unlicensed and unprofessional moving businesses. We suggest you get everything in writing and we reiterate the point of making sure these guys are licensed. Don’t have your items held hostage, because that is what some of these unruly companies will do until you pay more money.

Should I shop around for a moving quote?

By all means you should do your homework and shop around for a moving quote, it does help. But we will say if you shop around you are going to get the two types of quotes, the licensed quotes and unlicensed quotes. Stick with the licensed quotes because you can’t go wrong and if you do get quotes from other companies that are better than us then come back and we will see if we can price match that quote for you.
