Friends of TMC
This page contains a broad range of links for you to explore. We have included important moving industry links to help you get as much information as possible before you move and also links to our favorite businesses, suppliers, individuals, and non-profit organizations.
MOVING INDUSTRY LINKS:
Relocation.com -An outstanding blog and resource center for anyone moving. This is the combined effort of experience Moving and Storage professionals across the nation and aims to help every get the best move for the best value.
A CAVEAT: While Relocation.com is a great informational site, we strongly recommend you do not fill in the “Find Professionals That Meet Your Needs” box on the side. This is just a lead-generating source that goes to several movers who pay per lead and you will be flooded with calls and emails. We think the best way to get quotes is to contact moving companies directly, often by filling out similar-looking forms on their individual company website. I know that can seem confusing, but we believe that moving is too sensitive an undertaking to be handled by lead-generating services and cold calls.
California Public Utilities Commission – Every Moving company that does business in California needs to be licensed and in good standing with the California P.U.C. This page will give you important information about state moving laws and allow you to search moving companies to make sure that they are licensed and insured.
