All You Need to Know About Small MovesIf you’re doing a long distance move from San Francisco to New York and planning to move a minimal amount of items, also referred to as a “small load” within the moving industry, there are specialized moving companies in San Francisco that provide transportation services to New York for such small moves. What is considered a small load? A small load is defined as anything up to 1000 pounds being moved. For example, if you are moving a few select household items, or boxes from San Francisco to New York, perhaps a large bulky, or specialty item, such as a piano, this would be a small move. Are there advantages to using a small load mover?
Where to find the best small load movers
Referrals and recommendations are a great way to find moving companies. If you know someone that had a good cross-country experience with a small load mover, contact that company for a quote. An online search will also generate a good amount of small load moving companies within San Francisco. Spend the time to read reviews for any company you are considering and check company details, such as licensing and USDOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) number. Make sure that they provide transportation between San Francisco and New York. It is advised to obtain at least 3 quotes. You can then compare estimates, ask questions, and choose the best company based on your individual moving needs and budget.
Insurance
Having moving insurance is just as important on a small move as it is on a large move. If you will be moving high value items from San Francisco to New York or NYC to LA, find out from your moving company about your insurance options, and how to purchase additional insurance.
