Am I Supposed to Tip My Movers?

This seems to be a big question for some. The answer is yes and not just because we’re movers. Service workers such as wait staff, cabbies, bellhops, bartenders, newspaper deliverers, and movers are typically tipped if they provide good service.

How to Properly Organize Your Next Move

Moving can be an exciting prelude to a better location or a more desirable way of living. However, to minimize any potential problems, save money, and make the process go as speedily as possible, you want to organize your move in advance.

Make Moving Eco Friendly!

Moving is a dreaded task in itself, but when you add, “caring for the environment” to the to-do list it can seem almost impossible. Moving is an environmentalist’s nightmare, with all the throwing of items, packing material, boxes, and general waste that occurs.

What is a DDT?

DDT sounds like you’re being charged double for drive time but that’s a mistake! The California Public Utilities Commission requires all moving companies to charge DDT on hourly rated moves. DDT means you are charged for the time between the old house (origin) and the new house and the moving company is responsible for the drive time between the warehouse and the origin. DDT actually SAVES you money!
