What should I look for when selecting a mover?
First, check for the appropriate licenses. Movers need a Public Utilities Commission (PUC) license or a Department of Transportation license. You should also get proof of appropriate insurance. Once the basics are in place, the track record of the company is the best thing to look at. Referrals should be available if you want to check references.

How far in advance do I need to schedule my move?
Generally, the more time we are notified in advance of a move, the more time we have to obtain the date you request. However, we've had customers book a move 1 day in advance! We understand that moving is hectic and Bekins will do our best to accommodate your needs in scheduling your move.
