AM Moving can be one of the most stressful experiences in life. Still, it doesn’t

 have to be like that, and we have seen (with AM Moving Company) how a well-planned move with the right partner can turn what could have been a massively chaotic day into a normal and even enjoyable experience.

 In 2025, technology and customer expectations have advanced significantly, so now more than ever it is imperative to hire an honest, reputable, and efficient moving company.

Whether you are moving across the street or across the country, here is a guide to help you choose the best moving company in 2025.

1. Verify Licensing and Insurance
   Before anything else, please make sure that the company is fully licensed and insured. 
2. In the United States, interstate movers are required to be registered with the Federal Motor copyright Safety Administration (FMCSA).
3.  Ask the company for their USDOT number and confirm it, and their status on the FMCSA website. Local movers are often regulated at the state level. Insurance ensures that if any damage or loss occurs during your move, you are covered.

2. Pricing Transparency
One of the biggest complaints in the moving industry is hidden fees. 

In 2025, moving companies that are reputable (like ours) can provide a digital quote outlining (to the penny!) every line item: labor, truck fee; mileage; supplies, additional any other extras. 

Look for companies that provide flat rates that include everything.

5. Confirm Their Crew Experience and Training
The premier moving companies train their team.

 Ask if the movers are their full-time staff or temporary workers. A quality company will have checked, trained, and equipped their team to safely and respectfully handle the items you are moving.

6. Look for Custom Services
Every move is unique; whether you need packing help, specialty item services (pianos, artwork, etc.), or storage, choose a mover that has the ability to customize their services to your needs.

 Flexibility is another example of putting the customer first.

7. Ask About Their Cancellation Policy and Damage Policy
Life happens, find out about the cancellation, the delay, and the refund policy before you sign a contract, as well as,

 what happens if something were damaged — how do they respond to claims, and what is their liability?

8. Get It in Writing
Always get a written estimate and thoroughly review the moving contract. Don’t accept vague statements. 

In 2025 with digital signatures and e-documents, it is faster and easier than ever.

Final Thoughts from AM Moving Company
Finding a moving company should not just be finding someone with a truck — it is trusting a crew to move your life. 

AM Movings prides itself on professionalism, transparency 

One of the biggest sources of waste during a move is packing materials. Think about it: all those cardboard boxes, rolls of bubble wrap, and stacks of packing peanuts usually end up tossed after one use. But if you’re aiming for a zero-waste move, the best place to start is with what you already own.

Suitcases, laundry baskets, reusable shopping bags, and even dresser drawers can all double as packing containers. Instead of buying packing paper or bubble wrap, wrap fragile items in towels, blankets, or even clothing. It’s not just eco-friendly — it’s also cost-effective and makes unpacking so much easier.

If you do need boxes, try asking local stores, friends, or online community groups if they have extras. Many businesses are happy to give away boxes that would otherwise be recycled or trashed.
