As moving day approaches, your to-do lists can get pretty long, and you may wonder how you can finish everything on time. Fortunately, you can take the heavy lifting tasks off your list by hiring professional movers—meaning, local movers in Dallas, TX who are reputable and trustworthy with a physical presence in the city.
Whether you’ll need movers in Dallas or Fort Worth, here are eight benefits you can enjoy by going local.
#1 A Local Moving Company Knows Your Neighborhood
It isn’t always easy to navigate through Dallas when you don’t know the area, but local movers will quickly find your home without the fuss of time zone misunderstandings.
Whether getting to your home will involve one-way streets or road construction, established local moving companies in Dallas, TX will know where they’re located and how to handle them with finesse. Local crews know when and where traffic jams often occur as well as alternate routes to take during peak times. They’ll know how much time to plan to arrive at a certain time, too, keeping everything on schedule.
Sure, GPS is wonderful, but nothing beats local knowledge.
Local movers in Dallas are weather savvy, too, knowing how to protect a customer’s belongings in Texas weather conditions. MoveDay fits that bill, and we also have climate-controlled storage for your temperature-sensitive items.
#2 Easy Verifications of Mover Credibility
You’ll want your moving company to have all the necessary certifications and insurance, which includes the following:
● Department of Transportation (DOT) License
● Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA) License
● Pro-Mover Certification from the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA)
With local moving companies in Dallas, TX, you can not only ask to see these credentials, but they may likely have local awards, certifications or affiliations. Ask if they are partnered with local charities or the Dallas or Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce.
The more official affiliations, especially if they’re local, means the company has a long-standing history in Dallas, and is far less likely to be a “rogue” mover. Typical rogue movers won’t have long-standing local partnerships, because they regularly change their name and address. This makes it hard for their bad (and illegal) behavior to follow them, and they can take on unsuspecting local moves.
#3 Local Recommendations and Reviews
You can ask friends and family members which local moving companies in Dallas, TX they recommend—and which ones they don’t. You can also research local moving companies online and read their reviews.
Plus, local movers are part of the community, which automatically increases the importance of maintaining a good reputation—and quality moving companies know this. They know the importance of word-of-mouth recommendations and of positive online reviews. When local movers tell their family, friends and neighbors who they work for, they only want to hear positive stories!
#4 Competitive Pricing
When a company operates within the local economy, they’ll need to price their products and services in competitive ways. “Competitive,” though, doesn’t necessarily mean the cheapest. Companies that lowball prices will often need to cut corners on their services, not something you want to happen with all your household treasures.
When price comparing, look at what a moving company offers and consider how much time would be involved for the moving team to handle your belongings with care. Also consider how having the right local movers in Dallas will free you up to handle other aspects of your move.
#5 Value-Added Services
Let’s say that your original plan involved your family packing up belongings and having a moving company transport them. Life got more hectic than you anticipated, though, and you could really use extra help.
That’s when local movers in Dallas, TX can be especially valuable – at least if they offer packing and unpacking services.
Or, let’s say your plans change and you’ll take along pieces of furniture that you’d thought about leaving behind. At MoveDay, we allow for plenty of flexibility when plans change. We can simply schedule another quick virtual tour or stop by to see how this change in plans might tweak your move.
