Texas Interstate Moving Company North Dallas Moving and Storage Shares Tips for Consumers Moving Across State Lines

DALLAS, June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Moving cross-country tends to be a more complicated process than moving across town, so North Dallas Moving and Storage (NDMS) has compiled its top tips to help those planning interstate moves. The Texas moving company has been facilitating both local and long-distance moves for more than 50 years; and with the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex consistently named among the nation's fastest-growing metro areas*, NDMS has extensive experience in helping customers relocate into and within Texas.

According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data, the country's top three fastest-growing large cities are all in Texas. Conroe (near Houston) takes the top spot, with 7.8% growth, while Frisco and McKinney (both in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex) are second and third, respectively, at 6.2% and 5.9%. Texas cities also represent half of the top 10 in terms of numeric population increase. San Antonio is in third place, growing by 24,473 new residents, while Dallas (20,602), Fort Worth (19,942), Houston (18,666) and Austin (17,738) claimed spots six through nine.*

North Dallas Moving and Storage has conducted thousands of successful local, regional and interstate moves, and the following are the company's top tips for evaluating interstate moving companies and ensuring a smooth, worry-free relocation across state lines:

• Choose a licensed mover. All residential movers operating in Texas must have an active certificate of motor carrier registration from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV), while the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates interstate movers. Make sure your moving company is licensed by these agencies.

• Confirm BBB rating. Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to verify the mover's track record of customer satisfaction and complaint resolution.

• Obtain a written quote. Reputable moving companies will provide you with a written proposal and quote detailing the services to be provided, pricing and payment details.

• Determine liability coverage and insurance. Verify the mover's liability coverage for damage or loss, and decide whether you wish to purchase additional transit insurance.

• Take advantage of free moving resources. Experienced movers understand the concerns and challenges customers face when preparing for relocation, and many offer helpful information. For example, NDMS provides detailed moving tips, including moving guides, questions to qualify a moving company, pre-packing checklists, items to keep in possession during a move, and more.

• Review customer feedback. It's always wise to find out what other customers have to say about the moving company. Look for testimonials on the mover's website, check public consumer review sites and see if the mover has earned any awards that reflect client satisfaction.
