How Do Moving Companies in the USA Work out the Cost of a Move?

Before committing to a moving company there a number of things people take into consideration, including the price, reputation, location and customer service aspects of the business. Some people may compromise when it comes to customer service especially if they’re getting a good deal. Personally, I feel when you base your decision purely on price you increase the chance of things going wrong and when it does the old saying ‘you get what you pay for’ plays out in the back of your mind.

Pricing structures differ depending if the move is local, interstate or international. Local moves are dependent on a number of factors, including size of move, equipment accessibility and services requested. Proper equipment sizing, experience of personnel and equipment availability are all taken into account when moving companies work out a price for you. For example if you decide to cut corners and use smaller equipment than required for the job, the end results is multiple trips which increases the overall price. On some big jobs, having a large crew maybe more economical than employing a small crew, which may take double the time to do the same job.

USA Express Moving has a number of different sized trucks depending on the size of the move. While it may be tempting to opt for a cheaper, smaller sized truck in the long run you may pay more for it. Using a smaller truck may involve having to do several trips which will result in higher gas prices. Also, using a smaller vehicle you are more likely to try and squeeze more items into the truck which can cause some products to become damaged. Local moves are normally billed on an hourly rate. The rate is also dependant on the number of movers in the crew and the number of trucks used. There are other additional charges to take into consideration, including packing services and piano moving which are charged additionally.
