There are a lot of movers all across this country. Some are good, some can be better. It is your job to do research on the internet and gather information from family and business acquaintances, as to which are the best. Word of mouth is a plus. Companies with well-known names might provide excellent service in one part of the country but not in another. It is called poor quality control. Some companies carrying the same name provide better service for a variety of reasons in specific areas.
You can compare rates, but a bargain company is no bargain if you arrive at the destination but have no idea where the moving truck is. Price is a consideration along with some inkling of knowledge as to the professionalism and reliability of whom you have hired. Most movers carry insurance, but do not count on their insurance, if you own anything of great value.
It will not hurt to check the BBB (Better Business Bureau) in the area of Chattanooga. Every city has a BBB. While the information will not inform you completely of the mover’s competence, a red flag will go off if that company has too many complaints. Every company has at least one complaint because everyone cannot be satisfied.
Get your quote online and sometimes for no charge a representative of one of the movers in Chattanooga will come out and give you a more accurate quote. Start rating the potential movers well ahead of the move. Doing so a week before the move is called gambling. Chances are that you will be okay due to the fine reputation of most movers in Chattanooga.
