Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on moving companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is right for your needs. You will also need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and drivers. However, full-service companies also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which moving companies meet Louisiana's licensing requirements for movers. Other easy ways to research a company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of Central's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to select from, you can reach out to them and get a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you tell them all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Central, according to Today's Homeowner, are Two Men and a Truck.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Central are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 37,371 students attending college within 15 miles of Central, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Central tends to have hot temperatures. As a result, weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Central can get up to 76°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
