How to Choose the Best Local Mover in Pueblo

Make an informed choice by taking the following factors into consideration when choosing movers in Pueblo.

Determine Your Budget

Based on our findings, the average cost of hiring a local mover in Pueblo is $46 per hour. The overall cost adds up to $3,985 for a two-bedroom move. Your actual cost will vary depending on your home size, any additional tasks you need your movers to handle, move distance, and the season.

We suggest obtaining quotes from at least three reputable movers in your area. Don't forget to request written estimates. These should provide a breakdown of the total cost, including the hourly rate or flat fee. Keep your mover's estimate handy until the move is completed to ensure fair pricing practices.

Read Customer Reviews

Moving companies need good customer feedback. Read customer reviews on websites such as Google Reviews, social media, Trustpilot, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau to find moving companies with excellent customer service.

Ensure Proper Licensing

Moving companies in Pueblo must follow different licensing requirements depending on their service area. If you're only moving intrastate, your moving company must have a permit from the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.

If you're moving across state lines, the regulations are different. Interstate moving companies must be licensed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and must carry active United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Motor Carrier (MC) numbers. You can use these numbers to look up a mover’s registration status and complaint history on the FMCSA’s mover registration search tool.

Services

Assess whether your chosen mover offers the specific services you need during the quote process. Compile a list of any services you might need and take a comprehensive inventory of your home before requesting quotes. Inform your moving company representative about any specific requirements or unique circumstances to see whether the company can provide satisfactory service.

Types of Moving Services

Full-service movers will provide these services in the base price for standard moves:

• Basic wrapping materials for furniture protection
• Loading and unloading
• Released liability coverage for loss or damage

If you need special services from your moving company, inform them of these when requesting a quote. Additional fees may apply for the following services:

• Crating for art or antiques
• Extra flights of stairs
• Long carries
• Packing
• Piano moving
• Storage
• Unpacking
• Vehicle shipping

Tips To Consider When Moving in Pueblo, CO

Here are a few additional tips to keep in mind when moving to, from, or within Pueblo.

Schedule an Early Move

The morning and evening rush hours in Pueblo can often cause delays. Movers stuck in traffic can also lead to higher costs when charged an hourly rate. You can avoid this by booking movers several hours before or after morning rush hour.

Avoid Busy Season

May to September marks the peak moving season and Pueblo's hottest time of the year. Moving at this time can slow or worsen your moving process, particularly if you start searching for a moving company too close to your move. The increased demand could lead to limited availability with your desired mover. Plan ahead and schedule your desired mover at least eight weeks in advance. You should also be prepared for the potential challenges the summer weather may pose to your movers during a summer move.

Pack in Advance

We recommend you begin packing around six weeks before your move to prevent rushing to pack on your moving day. Spending time packing a few boxes each day can get it done without overwhelming you. Most movers only move items that have been packed by the scheduled moving time, so you should have everything boxed up before they arrive.
