About MoverSlate
What MoverSlate is, which kinds of moving companies it lists, what it will never do with your move and how the site pays for itself.
Most people hire a mover once every few years, usually with a lease ending or a closing date already on the calendar. The search results are crowded with call centers that sell your move to whoever bids, and from the outside it is hard to tell a family company with its own trucks from a reseller with a website. MoverSlate lists the moving companies of large US cities by the kind of move they handle, so you can narrow it down to a few real crews before you start asking for estimates.
Which movers you will find here
Local movers, long distance movers, piano movers and commercial and office movers, with a list for each in every city where enough companies do that work. Moving and storage companies, apartment movers and small move specialists have city lists too. Inside a list you can keep only the crews that pack for you or that help older adults move. Every company has a page with the moves it takes on, where it is based, its hours and how to reach it.
What we never do
MoverSlate is not a mover, a moving broker or a lead service. We do not carry anything, we do not give estimates and we do not hand your name or phone number to companies that will call you. You contact the movers yourself, and using the site costs you nothing. We also cannot confirm that every company holds the registration or license its moves require. The How we choose movers page explains where to look that up in a few minutes.
How the site is paid for
There are no ads. Moving companies that are already on a list can buy one of two optional plans. Pro gives their page contact buttons, photos and details on registration, estimates and payment. Top puts the company in one of the first three places of a list. Both are labeled wherever they appear, neither can buy a company onto a list, and we never take a share of what you pay for your move.
