When a survey asked what were the most stressful things that a person can do, moving ranked third on the list. Only death and divorce were ranked higher, making it to the first and second places on the best stressed list. For people who are planning a move, there is help available.

Moving is a lot of work. Some people prefer to do all, or most, of the work themselves. Others pick up the phone, get online, or both in search of the best moving company they can find. There are many different moving companies to choose from.

Cost is one of the factors to look at, but the least expensive movers you can find are not always the best moving company to select. Reputation, hidden costs, and recommendations from friends and family members should all be taken into account when looking for the best moving company to suit your needs.

Most of the large moving companies have trucks available for rent. Other equipment such as dollies are also available to rent or to purchase for those who prefer to move their own belongings. For those of us who lack the physical strength, desire or both to move all of our own things, moving companies also offer full service and can be hired to do all of the moving.
