How To Find a Trustworthy Moving Company in new york city

I too have moved about 14 times in my life. From my experience, none of those big national companies are any good because they mostly hire independent contractors for the move from one location to another. Even the driver could be an independent. Those people they hire on an hourly or daily basis are typically less reliable. I find that locally owned companies with their own permanent staff tend to do a much better job. If anyone ever need a mover in Portland, OR, I highly recommend Priestley & Sons!

It's coming from bussiness. You never know EXACTLY how much orders you get, 60% of youR stuff work with you all the time, another 40% like you said - mostly independent.

You could also always go with a moving broker/logistics company- a company that you tell exactly what you need and where/what you want to move, and they deal directly with the carriers for you. The good thing here is the logistics company has the additional responsiblity of communicating directly with the carriers, which means you'll never have to stress about whether the independent movers are "shady" or not.
