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:
Different types of moves work best with different movers. The first step in picking a moving company is determining whether a national or local company is best. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you hate packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they get there.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Massachusetts' mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of Monson's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to choose from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you tell them all of the services that you're looking for, and to verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Monson, according to Today's Homeowner, are McGriff Trucking Moving and Storage.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Monson are the best ones. They include:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 17,076 students attending college within 15 miles of Monson, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Monson tends to have moderate temperatures. As a result, you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers know the Monson area better 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 ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
