Heavy Duty Moving If you’re looking for a full service mover that transports heavy cargo like boats and RVs, keep in mind that there are certain regulations placed by the Department of Transportation that movers have to abide by. For heavy equipment such as tractors, moving companies should offer specific accommodations for safe transportation such as registered blade guards, an adequately sized pintle hook, and wide selection of trailers. Some moving companies don’t even require you to disassemble your equipment. Take steps in figuring out which available service works for you and go from there when you’re looking for a company to move your heavy equipment. Beyond the Dollar Sign When searching for a moving company, a low estimate shouldn’t be a prospective customer’s first priority. It’s about finding an affordable moving company with a solid reputation for dependability and prompt delivery. It’s not uncommon to come across moving scams when you’re looking for a carrier to transport your goods, and unfortunately, many people often focus on the dollar sign above anything else. An affordable price is often an indication of a reliable carrier, but you should always take the extra effort to investigate any moving company thoroughly before that final decision. Open Lines of Communication You should always have open lines of communication with your driver and moving coordinator in order to provide loading details, and whether or not the client still intends on moving everything on the estimate. Be sure to have your phone turned off late on moving day or better yet, late the next day. Transporting Medicine Before you pack your medicine for moving, seal all of the caps with masking tape. Naturally, your medicine bottles should be packed in an upright position. For certain drugs such as insulin, exposure to heat can cause it to lose potency. Talk to your pharmacist and inquire about what measures you can take to prevent this. It's recommended that you transport your own medication.

Help U Move While we were extremely pleased with the work Help U Move did ... 1.0
While we were extremely pleased with the work Help U Move did to move us out and back into our home when we did some remodeling work, our inter-state move was underestimated, the actual move completely chaotic, and a mattress lost in the move. I gave Help U Move the benefit of the doubt at the time of the move and did not raise a fuss. However, when we discovered the mattress missing a few months later (they didn't do an inventory of our belongings so I didn't discover it was missing until we needed it) I tried repeatedly to resolve this issue with the company, requesting reimbursement for the lost mattress (since I had already paid more than the upper end of what was initially estimated), and NEVER received a return phone call from the owner or office manager; all contact/follow-up was initiated by me. As of the date of this review, the company also ignored attempts by the Better Business Bureau to resolve this issue on my behalf. Word to the wise: get references and use BBB firms.
