So what are the main reasons you should avoid moving companies that use day laborers?
1. Liability for an accident
A full-time employee will be insured in insurance policies and licenses of a moving company. However, the contractor, most likely, does not fall under the same protection measures. That is extremely dangerous for you for several reasons. The most important is the liability.
2. Handling your belongings badly
If you are concerned about the safety of your property, then the best choice would be a professional moving company Texas with full-time employees. One-day workers most likely have no experience or training to know how to handle, pack, load, and unload things carefully. Thus, there is a higher risk of damage to your belongings. Regardless of whether they didn't protect the furniture correctly, boxes with fragile objects have fallen or scratched the walls - the day laborers simply do not have the experience and know-how necessary to move your belongings safely. Even if the moving company takes responsibility for the full value of your goods, no one wants their favorite things to break because of unwary movers. Not to mention all the time and headache when you need to replace these damaged goods.3. Improper use of equipment
A reliable moving company trains its employees in every moving equipment so that they know exactly how to use it. This includes furniture pads, blankets, trolleys, hand carts, and shrink packing tools. Improper use can lead to:- Loss of time
- Damage to objects
- Accidents on your property
4. Slow and inefficient
Relocating to Texas can be a stressful process. Most likely, you will spend weeks on planning and preparation. So when the big day comes, you want to do it quickly and efficiently.
- Understanding which items to load into the truck first and last
- How to load items so that they all fit the truck
- Ability to move multiple items at once
- Understanding which items to pack in a box together
5. No incentive to maintain the company's reputation
- An employee may do the work at his own discretion (even if it does not give ideal results);
- He does not have to uphold the value or integrity of the company;
- And he does not have to maintain the level of customer service that the company promised.
