Licensed and Insured Movers in Napa Valley

When you’re searching for the right professionals to trust with your Napa Valley move, factors like service offerings, price, and availability are all important. But, when all is said and done, how can you really be sure you can depend on them to be accountable and safely transport your items? This is where licensing and insurance come into play.

What Is a Licensed Mover?

Licensing shows that the government has given a moving company permission to do business within the state or country, with the requirement that they meet certain standards and follow the laws and regulations. Without a license, there is no way to make sure that your movers are ethical and reliable.

Movers performing in-state relocations must have a Motor Carrier (MC) license from their respective state, as well as a permit to transport household goods. In California, this is referred to as a CPUC (CAL-T) permit, issued by the California Public Utilities Commission.

In addition to their in-state license and permit, “all long-distance household goods movers must be registered with FMCSA,” according to the U.S. Moving Protection Organization. A moving company registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will be given a USDOT number.

Shalyn and Amanda were extremely helpful with a problem I had concerning delivery of my household goods from another moving company. Although all they were doing, was logging in my household goods and storing them for me until I purchased a new house, the moving company that I used originally tried to overcharge me.Shalyn Immediately saw that the amount of goods that I had and the amount that they charged me for was wrong and contacted the moving company and was able to get me a refund for 2/3 of the money that I paid to the moving company. Amanda looked up the moving company online and found a number of complaints and illegal practices such as them having a revoked license to move furniture in the state of California, which she relayed to Shalyn Which helped in her negotiation with the moving company to get me the refund. All of this had nothing to do with the job they originally had agreed to do for me. It’s such a pleasure to come across companies and employees willing to go the extra mile to help out someone in a difficult position. Thanks again.

Response from the owner:Hello George, Thank you very much for the 5-star review, our team greatly appreciates it! I am truly sorry you had to go through this experience with the other company. We are firm believers of providing honest and ethical services for our customers and I am glad we were able to assist and retreive the majority of your money back as this was not gauranteed. Quotes that brokers and unlicensed movers provide are very applealing to customers upfront however, this route can create a lot of stress, chaos, and end up costing 3-4 times the amount you originally agreed to. We appreciate you trusting our team and allowing us to jump in and assist! We hope your story helps guide future customers to steer clear of such companies! -Team Turner : )

I never want to make a move without the Turner team again: from the first phone call with the office to the last handshake after the move was completed and the bill settled, every single member of the team was genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, hardworking, and even sensitive to all the emotions of moving day--each and every person on the Turner team exceeded my expectations! All I can say to them is a heart-felt THANK YOU, and to everyone else out there: Hire this team for your next move, youll be glad you did!
