It is important to do your research when hiring a moving company. Here are some top tips:

• Verify the company’s U.S. DOT number and FMCSA registration at protectyourmove.gov.
• Be cautious of too-low estimates that sound too good to be true.
• Look for affiliations with national van lines like United Van Lines.
• Check online reviews and ask trusted friends or colleagues for referrals.
• Use tracking technology like AirTags as an extra precaution.
