The Department of Transportation or DOT is the government agency responsible for the licensing of all interstate movers. It is important that you check with the DOT in order to see that your potential moving company has the authority to provide relocation services within the United States. The DOT keeps records on each moving companies’ liability and cargo insurance and makes sure that each company is sufficiently prepared to operate safely. A good status with the DOT will ensure you have chosen a safe, licensed mover to ship your goods across country.\u00a0http:\/\/www.dot.gov\/<\/a><\/p>

The California Moving and Storage Association or CMSA is a non-profit trade association with more than 500 California moving companies as members. Basically, CMSA’s purpose is to create a standard amongst movers in the relocation industry. As a member, each mover must be licensed and work towards the “Code of Ethics” of the CMSA. Because the CMSA holds its members to such a high standard of excellence, you can be safe in knowing that the moving company is honest, legal, and efficient in their service. You can view their website to find helpful information or see their solid group of member companies.\u00a0http:\/\/www.thecmsa.org\/<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Who can you trust more to give you the most honest information than your friends and relatives? Ask those close to you for any recommendations or words of caution. When you are choosing a mover, you are basically giving them your precious belongings and trusting them to transport them safely across town or across country. Trust the ones you have known a long time or those who have the most experience with relocating.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
