Ask If The Moving Company Is Licensed:

Moving companies must have a moving license to perform local residential moving services. Movers who provide moving services across state lines need to have a USDOT license.

They Ask For A Large Deposit:

Usually, local moving companies will not ask for a deposit. If you have decided to hire a moving company that asks for a deposit, I would recommend you do some research about the company to make sure they are a reputable company.

They Have A Lower Moving Estimate Than Other Companies:

When one estimate is unusually low, it’s likely they haven’t included all the services you need. Sometimes companies will purposefully underbid your move so you would book their service, then add on hidden fees you weren’t aware of afterward.
