Should I hire movers or should I go it alone? How much will the process cost me? How should I get ready for a move? These are some of the frequently asked questions we get at GPS Moving Company. Because we are one of the more seasoned moving companies in the state of CA, we know what it takes to make a move successful. We’ll try to answer these questions to give a glimpse of what to expect when making a move.
Should I hire out of State movers or go it alone?
The only downside associated with hiring movers is the cost. This, however, is relative. Relocating is often a consuming process whichever way you decide to tackle it. There’s packing, which may set you back hundreds of dollars due to buying packing materials, there’s the heavy lifting which may end up leaving you fatigued, and there’s the logistics of navigating through busy roads while driving a huge truck.
On the flipside, when you hire movers, everything is done for you. A team of experienced and skilled movers will take charge of packing your furniture in safe and secure boxes or containers, load them up in the trucks, offload them in your new address, and help you unpack. They’ll save you the time, the effort required, and the stress that comes with the process.
How much does it cost to hire out of state movers?
Each move is different. There are a number of factors that come into play when creating your total cost of moving. For example, for a client moving from California to Alabama, there’s the 2,165.8 miles between the two states to consider, the volume and weight of the items, the type of service chosen, and the ease of access from their premises to the new address. It is quite difficult to get an accurate estimate without knowing the answers to the above variables.
There are various ways you can lower the cost of moving. One of the ways is by carrying out a hybrid move. This involves both hiring a moving company, and moving on your own. You pack your belongings and move the light items by yourself and then hire movers for the bulky and heavy items such as furniture and equipment.

How should I get ready for a move?
If you hire a CA moving company, the only preparation required is ensuring that you partner with the right one since they’ll do everything for you.
Do the following:
- Get recommendations from family, friends, or workmates. You can also look up a company’s online reviews. Those will give you a glimpse of what a company is like.
- Compare moving quotes from several companies (3 to 5).
- Ensure that the company you partner with is registered by the U.S. Department of Transportation and has a valid insurance policy.
- Ensure that you’re only paying a 20% deposit which should not be in cash. A company asking for cash payment is a red flag.
