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:
First, you'll need to decide if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different kinds of moves will need different sets of skills, as shown above. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide trucks and drivers, but you will be expected to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service mover will offer packing services, which can be very helpful if you hate packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, learn which local movers meet Minnesota's mover licensing requirements. Other easy ways to research a company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of Duluth's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
After you narrow down your list, you can start talking to movers. It is strongly suggested that you talk to at least one or two of the movers on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you will need for your move. Also, ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Duluth tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
