When it comes to professional moving companies. What is the difference between a mover and a transfer company?
Sharon P
When I look in the phone book or online some companies are listed as moving companies, some say moving and storage, some say transfer company. I would like to know what the difference is between a transfer company and a moving company.
Thanks !

There is really no difference other than price
Moving companies own their own equipment and employ their own people. Transfer companies hire independant contractors to do the real work….
if you look in the phone book under movers/moving then no difference. but transfer companies not under moving usually will receive freight from national trucking companies say; close to a major city because local companies have smaller trucks, know the roads better and can store freight short term. with the cost of employee benefits all companies use contractors/owner-operators. with all due respect no difference in cost between the two it’s just a name thing
