The interstate moving business is a highly regulated arena that requires continuous improvement to remain competitive. Whether we’re faced with new rules for operating eighteen-wheelers or improved methods of recycling our debris, American Van Lines also aims for continuous improvement regarding our environmental efforts. Reducing our impact on the environment is a never-ending process that’s always in flux.

The regulations that govern interstate relocations establish three ways of protecting your goods financially against damage or loss during your move. The three forms of protection offer varying degrees of financial compensation. It’s important to understand their differences so you can make the best decision.

Long-distance moving companies let you choose between two types of moving estimates: binding and non-binding. In this week’s blog, we’ll attempt to describe the fundamental differences between those two types of moving estimates. If you have further questions, please ask your sales agent for clarification.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which regulates interstate moving companies, requires licensed long-distance movers to post the agency’s Moving Rights and Responsibilities pamphlet. The pamphlet describes in detail both your rights and your responsibilities as an interstate transportation customer in America. Your mover knows all this information, and you should too.

Whether you’re hiring a professional moving company or relocating yourselves, you’ll need to follow a schedule so you don’t fall behind. Create a Moving Checklist that contains all the tasks you need to perform and the dates by which they must be completed. You can adjust your checklist as your move progresses, but it’s important to write everything down so you don’t miss anything.

Whether you’re moving locally or long-distance with American Van Lines, depend on your dedicated customer service agent to keep you constantly informed of the progress of your move until you reach the finish line. It’s our duty to introduce ourselves, provide initial pick-up and delivery estimates, and keep you updated as your moving windows tighten. We need you to feel comfortable that your move is proceeding as planned.

To completely eliminate the hassle of packing from your moving itinerary, hire our experts to unpack your boxes right after they’re delivered. Our professional crews deliver your goods and then immediately begin unpacking them once everything is off the moving vehicle. Since we place each box in its proper room, you’ll be ready to set it all up once our crew departs.
