If you aren't sure how to pick a moving and storage company to help you through your relocation, consider asking them these questions. You'll find out key information about potential movers right away.

• Can you provide for my specific moving needs?
  

Depending on the situation you may need a local mover, household mover, or even corporate relocation expert.

• Are you a fully licensed mover?
  

All interstate movers are required to have a United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) license. Other movers operating solely within the same state may have a state license.

• Can I get additional valuation protection?
  

All movers are required to provide 'released value' protection for free. Many movers also offer additional 'full valuation coverage' which is paid, but provides full market value for lost or damaged items.

Planning is key to preparing for your next move. Whether working with local movers or an international moving company, you'll want to start preparing as soon as possible. Putting together a checklist of things you need to do before, during, and after moving day is useful.

You should also create an FF&E list of all your belongings. Organizing the list by room helps later on when unpacking in your new home. Lastly, stay in touch with your moving and storage company. Your long-distance movers can help by suggesting ways you can prep for the big day.

If long-distance movers are taking you far from home, make sure to get to know the area you are headed too. You can learn tons about communities online these days, such as:

• Climate & Weather Trends

• Job Outlook

• Best Schools

• Childcare Options

• Good Neighborhoods

• Pertinent Healthcare Facilities

• Cost of Living

You can even look out for local movers in the area where you are headed to take care of your relocation. These in-town moving and storage experts are very familiar with the region you'll be going to, allowing them to complete moves quickly and safely.
