Residential Local Moving Services
Moving your household, even locally, can be
a complicated process, but if you plan it properly and follow some simple
guidelines, you will arrive in your new home relaxed and excited about your new
surroundings. The term “local residential move” relates to the moving of
household items to a destination within a state, and within 100 miles of the
original house. This kind of local move may also be called an intrastate move.
All moving companies are required to provide insurance options. The standard local residential moving insurance (basic liability coverage) should be included in the hourly rate; generally 60 cents per pound per article, depending on the state regulations. Additional insurance can be secured on the day of the local move. Usually residential local moves are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the circumstances. It is a standard in the moving industry to charge hourly rates for local residential moves. The hourly rate depends on the number of movers and number of moving trucks necessary for the move. If packing service is provided, that will also be charged on an hourly rate. The cost of materials for local moving services is determined only by the materials that are actually used.
The final charge for the local relocation services depends on certain variables including: the size of the household, the distance from the old residence to the new residence, distance from the home to the truck, number of stairs, whether packing and unpacking are requested, furniture assembly and disassembly. Remember with local moves, time is everything. You can save hours off from the moving time if you can recommend a quicker route to your destination than the one your mover was expecting to take.
All local moving companies and local moving services are regulated by the Public Utilities Conference (PUC) or by your state's Department of Transportation (DOT).
