As comes to a close, ATA-MSC is wrapping up the month with one final tip for a successful move: Consider liability options and valuation.

Know how much your goods are worth and make an informed choice of liability protections when booking your move. What you select will determine what the mover will be responsible for in case of loss or damage. Always take valuable documents and other items with you.

ATA-MSC is continuing its series with another helpful reminder for consumers preparing for a move: Avoid large down payments.

While some movers may ask for a small deposit to hold a date, any company who asks for large deposits or full payment upfront – especially in cash or through apps like Venmo or PayPal – should be avoided.

A successful move starts with good preparation. As part of , ATA-MSC is sharing another important moving tip: Know your rights and obligations as a consumer.

For interstate moves, moving companies must provide you with two documents: “Ready to Move?” and “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move.” Read these documents thoroughly and ask questions if there is something you do not understand.

ATA-MSC is marking by sharing practical advice to help consumers avoid common moving pitfalls. Today’s tip: Understand the difference between a mover and a broker.

Brokers will book your move and then sell it to a different company to do the actual move. Be wary that many scam companies operate as Internet-only brokers without proper DOT registration – if you cannot find them on ProtectYourMove.gov, this is a red flag.

Read all paperwork and never sign a blank document.

Professional movers ensure that all agreements between you and the mover are in writing and that you have the time to read and understand them. Keep copies of all paperwork (either as printouts or saved PDFs) for future reference, especially your bill of lading, which is the contract between you and your mover.
