Quantcast
"You Load/We Drive" moves are usually much less expensive than full-service moves. You control your moving costs by loading your items yourself within the space you reserve. Charges are based on space used and distance traveled; weight is not considered. Because you load your own shipment, you are primarily responsible if scratches, dents, and breakage occur, although your shipment is covered for damage caused by company negligence or catastrophes.
Full service moving companies do the loading, driving, and unloading for you and also pack your items if desired. However, these moves are usually much more expensive than self-moves. Charges are based on the weight of the shipment and distance traveled. Items are covered for damage caused by company negligence or catastrophes and you can also buy enhanced valuation coverage for scratches, dents, and breakage from the company.
Auto transport companies These auto transporters own their own trucks and have their own drivers. They are not brokers that would shop your move to the lowest bidder and keep you waiting until someone agrees to move your car. If you ship your car with them, you can talk to the driver so you will always know where your car is. They are not cut-rate operators, but reviews show that they have performed very well for customers at reasonable cost.
Auto transport brokers do not own their own trucks. They book your car with the actual carrier and charge a small fee (typically $150-$200) to do so. A good broker with many contacts can be very helpful. However, choose one like ProStar that works with high-quality carriers and will not just place your car with the lowest bidder. The broker should also stay on top of your move so you know where your car is and when it will be delivered.
International moving companies arrange for your goods to be seen and measured, packaged, moved to port or airport, transported internationally, and delivered. For safety, be sure that any company you contract with is licensed by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC).
MovingScam-Approved Companies There are many good moving companies besides the few companies that are formally endorsed by MovingScam. The following companies are properly licensed and insured. They have numerous excellent, believable reviews and few or no complaints, showing that they are committed to providing high-quality moves. They have each assigned a person to help MovingScam customers with any problems that may arise.  
 
In view of this, MovingScam has given these companies its seal of approval. This seal of approval is a step below formal endorsement only because, as van line agents, they are not able to control every move from start to finish, although they are able to control moves that they do using their own trucks and drivers. Especially for the latter type of move, MovingScam.com recommends these companies with confidence.

Do NOT use All Usa! See the previous scam report about them:

http://www.movingscam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=115

You also need to read this article before you go any further. Whatever method you are using to find moving companies is NOT working.

Hint: STAY AWAY FROM INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES WHEN LOOKING FOR A MOVING COMPANY!!!!

All USA has an "F" rating from the BBB:
You can read their horrible BBB report here. They have over 100 complaints, including 65 complaints that they never even bothered to answer. The complaint summary reads:
Quote:
Complainants relate to delays in delivery or pick-up of goods, failure to honor the estimated costs of moves and insistance upon final payment in cash after being promised that payment could be made by credit card. Some customers complain that goods were damaged during the moves. Other complainants state that the company failed to provide claim forms and failed to pay claims.

The company responds to complaints by offering explanations for their actions, or, by disputing complaint allegations. The company generally denies issues of overcharges. In some cases, the company asked for additional information or documentation to support the complainant's allegations. In a few cases, responses imply the customer was untruthful when presenting the complaint allegations.

I concur with everything Tyrone said, and just want to add that they have an F with the L.A. BBB.

Their license was in revocation from August 23 of last year until June 9th. Before that, it was revoked from August 22, 2003, until April of 2004. Do you think they stopped moving in the meantime? They've been revoked more than they've been operable.
