If you decide to alter the original contract, the moving company must write an amendment that outlines any additional charges and services. You and the moving company representative must sign and date the amended contract.

Always remember:

  • Never hire an unlicensed mover.
  • Check the company’s license status at Truck Stop on the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles website, www.TxDMV.gov. For interstate moves, go to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration website, www.protectyourmove.gov.
  • If a moving deal seems too good to be true it probably is; be wary of cheap Internet offers.
  • Use reputable online sources, such as Southwest Movers Association (SMA), www.mytexasmover.com, Better Business Bureau (BBB), www.bbb.org, and American Moving _ Storage Association (AMSA), www.movers.org, when looking for a moving company.
  • ProMovers (AMSA certification) and Pinnacle Movers (SMA Certification) are elite groups of movers held to high standards of service, conduct and ethics within the industry. Visit www.promover.org or www.mytexasmover.com
  • Never accept a verbal quote or agreement. Get everything in writing, signed and dated.
  • Read the contract BEFORE signing it.
  • If a truck shows up without the company name and USDOT or TxDMV number printed on it, send it away. (These numbers verify it’s a licensed moving company.)
