How much do you tip local movers?

You should tip your movers based on the overall service, the job’s difficulty, and the time they spent doing the move. If you decide to tip your movers, you can choose between two time-tested methods of calculating the amount. Either tip each mover a specific amount, say $15 or $20 for a half-a-day move (4 hours), or pay them a percentage of your moving bill to split amongst themselves.

American Van Lines: The Most Experienced Piano Movers in Town

American Van Lines knows time-tested methods of moving your highly valuable pieces of art and antiques. Ask our crew to build a sturdy wooden crate on-site to house and transport that one-of-a-kind item you can’t replace. We’ve even built a crate around a grand piano. Anything that’s so valuable you can’t bear losing it deserves special handling during your local move. Contact the experienced movers at American Van Lines for help moving your valuable antiques and pianos.

Where can you find local movers?

The best way to find a competent local moving company is to ask your trusted friends and family members for recommendations. Once you have a list of companies, check out their social media profiles. Google their name to determine if they have a Google My Business location. Beware of companies that don’t have a full Google My Business profile. It’s an important method of gaining business for moving companies. If a moving company can’t qualify for Google My Business, walk away. 

Online reviews are another place to look for activity. Be more concerned with a company’s response to a complaint than the complaint itself. Did they reply quickly and with courtesy? Remember that review sites list the negative reviews first, and they allow those negatives to remain visible for an extended period of time. The reason is that most competent moving companies have far more positive reviews than negative reviews. If the review companies don’t put the negative reviews on top, you’ll never see them.

Ask About Secure Storage Options for Your Valuable Household Goods

American Van Lines operates secure storage locations at each of our regional moving hubs. Whether your move is local or long-distance, give us a call to arrange temporary storage for your household goods. Book your move with American Van Lines, and your first month of storage will be free! Your goods are stored in your personal wooden vault, where only your family’s items reside. All vaults are cleaned and sterilized after each use. To arrange affordable on-site storage for your valuable personal goods at one of our bonded warehouses, give American Van Lines a ring today.

If your new home isn’t available when your shipment arrives, ask American Van Lines to provide safe and secure storage for all of your valuable possessions. Perhaps you need to store your goods while your home is remodeled. Or maybe, like most of us, you just have too many possessions for your residence. American Van Lines delivers your stored goods to you upon your request. For affordable storage options in Florida, Texas, and North Carolina, speak to your friendly American Van Lines sales rep.

How do you choose a local moving company?

The best way to choose a local moving company is by getting together a list of companies recommended by your friends and family. Make it a project to call people whose opinions you respect and ask them if they’ve had a positive moving experience lately. How about your friend’s friends? Know anybody who’s moved recently? Once you get your recommended set of local movers together, you can begin comparing prices and services. 

Make sure the services you’re getting are the same from each company. How many movers are on the crew? Do they wrap furniture for transport? Do you charge for travel time from your location? How far away from me are you? Do you offer any discounts? A good rule of thumb is to limit your search to companies that have been in business for more than ten years. Rogue moving companies that get shut down often reappear quickly under a new company name.

Which items are local moving companies not allowed to transport?

Moving companies won’t allow you to transport items that are hazardous or perishable. They also don’t permit you to ship jewelry, furs, or important personal papers in the moving truck. You’re encouraged to keep your laptop with you. Specifically, your moving company can’t ship:

• Hazardous materials such as fuel, chemicals, or solvents. No charcoal, lighter fluid, or matches. Ditch your propane tanks, aerosol cans, and paint thinner. No fireworks, batteries, or sterno. Anything that can explode or combust is prohibited.  
• Perishable goods like non-preserved food, frozen food, and produce are not allowed on moving trucks. Throw away your refrigerated food and your open containers of foodstuffs. Take all your plants with you or find them a new home.
• Valuable items such as jewelry, furs, and cash. Take your medicine with you; don’t ship it. Also, keep your spare keys, your checkbook, and cell phone with you.
• Personal documents, including medical records, school records, and financial information, should remain with you. Keep family photos and videos with you. Also, any work files, computer backups or address books ship with you.

You can’t ship firearms, ammunition, or scuba tanks on moving trucks. Fertilizer, bleach, and ammonia are prohibited. Use up all your weed killer, pool chemicals, and cleaning solutions.

Which insurance does the Department of Transportation require for local moving companies?

The Federal Motor Safety Carrier Administration (FMSCA) regulates movers who transport household goods over state lines. They require moving companies to obtain two types of insurance from their home states that reimburse you in case of loss. Release-value insurance covers the basic costs of insuring your goods, which stands at 60 cents per pound. Full-value coverage, which provides customers with the purchase price of their lost or damaged items, is the second form of insurance FMSCA requires moving companies to buy.

Local movers in Florida must obtain both liability insurance that covers goods and motor vehicle insurance that covers trucks and vans. Texas requires movers to buy liability and cargo insurance, too. The cost is based on the size of the moving trucks. In North Carolina, the state requires a minimum of $50,000 in coverage for liability and $50,000 for cargo. Local moving companies also purchase commercial auto insurance, errors-and-omissions insurance, and workers’ compensation insurance.
