The Preferred Movers Network is a prestigious, members-only organization that recognizes independent moving companies committed to maintaining high-level industry standards and criteria. To be accepted into the network, moving companies must demonstrate their dedication to providing reliable and high-quality moving services. Unlike standard accreditation sites that allow a broad range of companies to join, the Preferred Movers Network carefully screens each of its applicants to ensure they meet their rigorous qualifications. Only independent movers with an extensive track record of customer satisfaction and compliance with industry best practices earn this valuable certification.
