Hiring Unlicensed Movers: Why You Shouldn’t Do It:



If you’re looking for help with your upcoming move, you might have been shopping around for the most affordable moving services. During your search, you might have thought about hiring unlicensed movers. This can be tempting because it can often be a lot cheaper; plus, you might be thinking that you can help someone out who really needs the business and the money. However, it’s pretty much never a good idea to hire movers who aren’t licensed. These are a few reasons why.

You Don’t Want to Hire an Unprofessional Company

When it comes to your move, you probably want the most professional people possible to help you out. Licensed movers have a reputation to uphold and can generally be counted on when it comes to being on time and behaving professionally while helping with a move.

You Want to Make Sure Your Possessions are Protected

It’s worth it to hire licensed movers if you want to ensure that your possessions are protected. Professional movers are more likely to be experienced enough to know how to pack and move your items in the safest way possible. Plus, a good licensed moving company should have ample insurance coverage to replace your items in the event that something does get damaged.

Professionals Generally Have Better Equipment

Another good thing about hiring a professional firm is the fact that professionals can generally be counted on to have better equipment. A couple of guys with a pickup truck just aren’t going to be able to get the job done as quickly or as well as a moving crew that has multiple moving trucks, dollies for moving things and other essential equipment.
As you can see, even though it might be tempting, it’s generally not a good idea to hire a moving company that is not licensed. If you are looking for a licensed moving company that you can count on, contact us at All Reasons Moving today.

CNN highlighted her story recently in the  child poverty installment  of its  Change the List project , a series focused on trying to help places rise from the bottom of various misery lists ( worst rape rate ,  most endangered river ,  most unequal place ). Click image for slideshow. Jones was raising her little girl — 18 months old when CNN visited — in a converted garage space with a tiny bathroom, including "a stand-up shower that's way too small." The Daily Mail  estimated  its size at 250 square feet, but it looks like it may be even smaller. "My living room, kitchen, bedroom, dining room — this is everything," she told CNN. Her "kitchen" was a mini-fridge with a small microwave on top, and a to
