I NEVER refer a client to a national mover. 

Why?

They ALL have a license to pillage and plunder at the scale. When such movers have solicited my referral business, I think of my clients and ask the mover if they will GUARANTEE their weight estimate to be within 15%.  They evaporate.

It is easy to be the low cost mover when they know the robbery will take place in a state far away with some persons possession held hostage.

Local movers will provide such assurances. Local moves know you can reach out and touch them.

There are a couple out here, but I've never used them myself, I've only interacted with them at networking events.  They are veteran owned and run and everyone I've talked to there is super squared away and dialed in.  But it always comes with the "I've never used them" caveat.
