Portland Preferred Movers Network Certified Member

The Preferred Movers Network prides itself on exclusively accepting independent moving companies that prioritize the needs of each and every customer. To gain certification, movers must meet the following criteria:

✅ Transparent Pricing – Members must provide free, upfront estimates with clear pricing, ensuring there are no hidden fees or surprise charges.

✅ Comprehensive Background Checks – Every mover and its employees must undergo rigorous screening checks to verify compliance with all safety moving standards.

✅ Licensed & Insured – Preferred Movers Network-certified members must be registered with the USDOT, hold the required state licenses, and carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.

✅ Full-Service Expertise – All members must offer and have experience doing full-service moves, which includes services such as packing, transportation, and storage. Additionally, they must be equipped to handle a variety of items, such as antiques and pianos.

✅ Independent & Locally Owned – Each member must be a fully independent company, not part of a franchise or broker who outsources their services.

✅ Residential & Commercial Moving – In addition to helping everyday households move, Preferred Movers Network members must be capable of handling commercial relocations..

Unlike standard online directories, the Preferred Movers Network continuously evaluates its members to ensure they consistently uphold these high standards.

When it comes to assessing third-party moving accreditation, one may ask, “How does Preferred Movers Network compare with its competitors?” Well, here’s your answer:

Key Takeaways:

• Unlike organizations like ProMover, the Preferred Movers Network exclusively certifies independently owned and operated movers. This means franchises, such as Two Men & All My Sons Moving, will not be accepted.
• While the Preferred Movers Network and ProMover require movers to be properly licensed and insured, the Preferred Movers Network goes further by enforcing transparent pricing and conducting ongoing quality assessments.
• While Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation can help identify reputable movers, the BBB does not perform continuous evaluations and relies on companies to self-report compliance rather than conducting verification audits.
