Of course not all moves are long
distance across the country type moves. But even if a move is local, it will
still be work. Still the distance that you plan to relocate can make your move
easier or harder in a lot of ways. It is far easier to navigate a local move
than a long distance move in Dallas, if for no other reason than you can manage
the move yourself.
The first order of business of
course will be to find some local moversin dallas to pack you up and move you. Even if you are only moving across
town, the work to pack, load and unpack is still as much of a burden as if you were
going across state lines and it makes economical sense to hire a moving company
to make your move as easy as possible in the long run. Your local movers should
be bonded and licensed and preferably from a well established local moving
company in Dallas. It may be tempting to hire strangers off the street or off a
well known internet site to move you in order to save a few bucks but in the
long run the risks don't out weight the potential savings.
Look at it this way; if you care
enough to pack it and move it, it probably has some value to you even if it's
just a sentimental value. If your property is damaged or broken in any way
during the move, your hired day help is not going to reimburse you for your
great grandmother Betsy's china collection. Your loss will be your loss.
Established local movers in Dallas however
are in the businesses to move people without breakage and will certainly have
some legal responsibility towards your property that will be covered in your
contract.
Another facet to consider is your
own liability. Moving is a very physical job and if your hired help is injured
in the moving process they can file a claim against you or your home owners
insurance. A legitimate local moving company in Dallas will have their own
worker compensation and assume responsibility for their workers.
And finally when it comes to
liability factors that you should consider, you need to decide who will be
packing up the items to move. Do you want to do it yourself or leave it to your
movers? Bear in mind if you pack the items yourself, the movers may not assume
full liability if the contents of the box arrive in a damaged condition. If you
don't have anything extremely fragile or delicate it is probably safe to assume
the liability and pack the items yourself.
And of course you will want to
make sure to get your estimate as well as all of the details of your move in
writing so your moving day can go off as smoothly as possible.
