Gainesville Movers Must be Licensed and Insured
Anyone operating as a mover of household goods in Gainesville Florida must posses a license from the State of Florida. Recently there has been a rise in the amount of unlicensed movers offering services in Gainesville. It is real easy to verify that you have a properly licensed company working for you.
The first thing you will want to do is ask for their mover registration number. If this is a company based in Florida it will be called an “IM” number. In this case “IM” stands for intrastate mover. If you happen to be moving to Gainesville from another state then make sure to check with the proper licensing authority of your state. For Florida residents you need to contact the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. To check the status of a moving companies license please follow the instructions on the Department of Agriculture website.
There are certain instances when a movers registration number is not needed. This would be for labor only. What does this mean? If you hire someone to help you load or unload a truck then they are not required to have the same type of license that Gainesville Florida moving companies are supposed to. It is still advisable to make sure the person or persons helping you are insured. If something happens to your valuables while being carried in or out of the truck will they be protected? Gainesville Moving LLC carries all of the licenses and proper insurance to operate in the State of Florida and beyond.
