Local Moving

WorldWideMovingSystems.com has gathered some basic information to help you to be informed before you move. Remember to always make sure your mover has been assigned a USDOT number, is licensed by the FMCSA to engage in interstate transportation of goods and has proper insurance.

What is a Local Move?

In most cases a local move is a move done from city to city within a state or in a 50-mile radius from your current location. The industry standard is to charge per hour. The hourly rate will be calculated depending on the number of movers and the number of trucks that are required for the job. Your estimator will make the proper determination of such charges. If packing is needed, that too is charged by the hour. Materials are charged based on actual usage.

How does the estimator know what to charge? Simply by using his previous experience in doing similar moves to figure out how long the move will take. His estimate includes the amount of time it will take the drivers to leave the garage, arrive at your home and finish the job. If needed he will add the cost of boxes, tape and other packing materials, extra insurance/valuation and known incidental costs.

The estimator assumes:

• There will be a big enough parking space available to comfortably load and unload all you belongings.
• You did not forget to mention any items or services you will need to be moved as well. Such as stuff you had in the basement which you forgot to mention or extra appliances you have decided to take.
• You have packed all that you said you would at the time of the estimate.
• If applicable, an elevator will be available enough to hold large furniture.

All local moves are regulated by your state's Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Public Utilities Conference (PUC). Your standard moving insurance is included in the price. If you prefer to purchase additional insurance, it can be secured on the day of the move. Just be sure to tell you representative before the move has begun.

Usually local moves are completed within 1-3 days depending on the circumstances.
