The worldwide web has made it very easy to get in touch with professional Glen Allen VA moving companies that are supposed to start competing for your moving job. In reality, filling out a moving quote form online is easier than ever – it takes just a few mouse clicks on a desktop, laptop, computer, or several finger taps on a mobile device. What’s the average time spent to complete a moving quote form? Less than 60 seconds!

 

When you get contacted by moving experts, you may be speaking with a professional Glen Allen VA moving company. Or you may only think that you’re discussing the details of your move with a Glen Allen VA moving company while in fact, the moving professional you’ve been talking with may turn out to be a moving broker.

 

Thus said, it’s very important that you understand the difference between a Glen Allen VA moving company and a broker once you’ve decided to seek professional assistance for your household move. The deeper your understanding of what sets apart these two legitimate businesses will help you make the right choice when wondering which service provider to use.

What’s the Difference?

 

Moving Broker- A moving broker is a company that arranges for the transportation of your cargo, utilizing for-hire carriers to provide the actual truck transportation. Moving brokers are sales teams that book your move and sell it to an actual moving company.

 

A moving broker is not a mover. A broker does not assume responsibility for, and is not authorized to transport your household goods. Brokers do not have moving trucks or professional movers. Brokers for interstate moves are required to use only movers that are registered with FMCSA.

 

Sometimes the broker is not able to sell the job to a moving company for various reasons – low estimates, no availability, limited resources, etc. – and in this case you can get stuck without a mover on the day of your move. Many moving brokers operate from call centers located anywhere in the country.

 

Moving Company- Professional movers that do the actual household move. They own their own fleet of branded moving trucks, they have the required moving equipment to complete the relocation job, they provide the necessary packing materials for the service of packing, and they also have full-time moving professionals who have been trained extensively to handle all types of move-related scenarios.

 

Unlike brokers, reputable Glen Allen VA moving companies will send an expert to your home to do an onsite (visual home inventory) and quote you an accurate moving cost estimate. Furthermore, you will be able to discuss with the Glen Allen VA moving company representative important issues and ask essential questions that are linked directly to your upcoming move – a face-to-face interaction that is much more beneficial than dealing with a moving brokesr over the phone or via e-mail.
