Westchester County Moving Company

A reputable moving company in Westchester County should be fully licensed and insured. To ensure your mover complies with both state and federal moving industry standards, look for:

• USDOT Number: “Similar to a license plate number, a commercial vehicle’s USDOT number is a unique identifier assigned by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).”  Forbes contributors Emily Glover and Samantha Allen highlight.
• State Licensing: Westchester County moving companies must have a NYSDOT number to conduct relocations within the state.
• Liability Coverage Options: Most local and long-distance moving companies offer additional coverage plans to protect your belongings during transit.

Triangle Movers is a fully licensed and insured moving company, providing peace of mind for every move. We offer:

• USDOT and NYSDOT Licenses: As an interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines, we operate under their USDOT #2256609 and are registered under our NYSDOT #33402, ensuring our customers that we’re a trustworthy provider for both local and long-distance moves.
• Motor Carrier (MC) License: Our motor carrier permit #770031 ensures we are authorized to operate commercial vehicles within and outside of the state of New York.
• Multiple Insurance Options: We offer comprehensive liability coverage options for added peace of mind.

“Our credentials are a testament to our commitment to maintaining high-quality moving standards,” says our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

Experience is a critical factor when choosing a moving company. Any New York mover needs to know where the congestion is, which routes are best, and, if there are traffic snarls, which alternate routes are best.

Companies with a long history in the industry often have a better understanding of the unique challenges and needs of moving in this region. They also understand the rules and regulations of Westchester County, so you don’t need to worry about that. Experienced moving companies have honed their skills over time, ensuring the efficiency, reliability and safety of their operations.

At Triangle Movers, we bring a wealth of experience dating back to 1996. Our deep understanding of Westchester County and extensive industry knowledge enable us to provide top-notch moving services. In addition, our founder, Jack Eschbacher, has over 45 years of experience in the moving industry, having worked in it for decades before starting Triangle Movers. Our experience ensures we can handle any moving challenge with professionalism and expertise, making your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. That is why we were named New York’s 2023 Mover of the Year by the NYS Movers and Warehousemen’s Association.

“We pride ourselves in delivering a wide range of moving services, always with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail,” emphasizes Triangle Owner and Founder Jack Eschbacher.

We are a mover with a 20,000-sq.-ft. warehouse location, full-time, background-checked crews and dozens of trucks. We handle everything directly, from packing, loading, transporting and unloading your belongings with our equipment and staff.

A broker is a middleman and doesn’t own trucks or employ movers. Instead, they sell your move to the lowest-bidding moving company. This can create several risks, including poor communication that may lead to last-minute price increases and a lack of accountability, since the broker isn’t responsible for any damages or problems arising from the move.

Dorie Chevlen and Kit Dillon from The NY Times recommend “start the search for a moving company as soon as possible—preferably two months before your move—to get the best price.” However, the best time to book your Westchester County move depends on the season and demand.  

• Peaking moving season (summer months): 2-3 months in advance.
• Non-peak moving seasons: 4-6 weeks in advance.
• Last-minute bookings: While they may be available, options will be limited.

Triangle Movers suggests booking as early as possible to secure your preferred moving date. Our flexible scheduling allows for:

• Early reservations for summer and weekend moves.
• Accommodations for last-minute moves, subject to availability.
• Personalized move planning for a smooth relocation experience.

“While we take pride in providing flexible scheduling, we recommend booking 4-8 weeks in advance to ensure a best-case scenario for your move,” notes our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

Triangle Movers offers customizable packing solutions tailored to your specific needs. This includes full- and partial-service packing assistance, as well as specialty packing for items such as antiques and artwork. Our professional packing team is equipped to handle everything from a single room to an entire household, working efficiently while paying attention to all the necessary details.

Many moving companies offer packing and unpacking services to save customers time and ensure items are properly protected during the move. These services can range from full-home packing to partial packing of specific items or rooms. According to Updater, “Movers will pack almost everything — almost. Call ahead to get a list of items that the movers won’t handle.”

“Professional movers have the training to ensure your things are packed and loaded correctly, especially heavy and bulky valuables,” states Move.org. This includes using industry-recommended techniques and materials such as:

• Protective padding and wrapping for furniture.
• Specialty boxes for glassware and electronics.
• Careful handling procedures to prevent damage during the move.

Triangle Movers use industry-best practices to safeguard your belongings throughout the move. This includes:

• Premium moving blankets and shrink wrap to prevent scratches and dents.
• Custom crating for delicate items such as mirrors and artwork.
• Professional loading techniques to minimize shifting in transit.

Our team knows how important your belongings are, which is why we pack every item as if it were our own,” stresses our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

In the moving industry, insurance is called ”moving valuation”. There are three main forms of moving valuation:

• Limited Liability Coverage: As required by law, you will receive 60 cents per pound per item lost or damaged. This level of coverage is included with each move.
• Full Value Protection: For an additional fee, this level of coverage ensures your moving company will either repair, replace, or reimburse you the fair market price of each item damaged or lost during the move
• Items of Extraordinary Value Declaration: This declaration is for items valued at $100 per pound or more and provides extra protection for their high value at an extra fee.

Most moving companies offer options so you can choose the level of coverage you are most comfortable with. However, every moving company offers slightly different valuation options, so ensure you are comfortable with their valuation offerings before signing on with your company.

At Triangle Movers, we understand the importance of offering our customers a range of protective options. We offer all three levels of valuation coverage. The Limited Liability Coverage ensures basic protection as mandated by law. For those with particularly valuable items, our coverage for Items of Extraordinary Value offers the additional security needed. And for those seeking full reassurance, our Full Value Protection plan offers the most comprehensive option, reimbursing you for the current market value of your items. These options reflect our dedication to offering a moving experience that is efficient and provides peace of mind regarding the safety and value of your belongings.

Many Westchester County movers provide storage solutions for customers who need temporary or extended storage. Options include:

• Warehouse Storage: Ensures your stored items are properly protected. Depending on the amount of items, this could mean being stored on a pallet or in a secure vault.
• Short- or Long-Term Storage: Whether you need it for a couple of weeks during a transition or a couple of months to a year due to extended travel or downsizing.
• Storage: “Climate-controlled storage, sometimes referred to as temperature-controlled storage, is a type of storage unit that is specially designed to maintain steady temperatures and humidity levels,” explains Moving.com.

Our 20,000-square-foot warehouse facility in Newburgh, NY, can accommodate a variety of storage needs. Some of these solutions include:

• Flexible Storage Durations: to fit your unique schedule.
• 24/7 Surveillance: to ensure optimal safety and security
• Climate-Controlled Temperatures: to protect temperature-sensitive items.
• On-Demand Storage: to simplify the storage process, including loading, transportation, and return.
