Why a Preferred Movers Network Certification Matters for Your Move

The Preferred Movers Network is a group of local, independently owned moving companies that have shown they meet high standards of honesty, safety, and customer care. Unlike general business directories where any mover can join, the Preferred Movers Network only accepts companies that consistently do a great job, follow all legal rules, and can handle every part of a move from start to finish.

Lompoc Van & Storage is a proud member of the Preferred Movers Network. This badge isn’t just for show—it means we live up to strict requirements that protect our customers. When you move with us, you’ll have peace of mind knowing our team has the right experience, training, and ethical practices to make your move go smoothly.

What Is the Preferred Movers Network?

Preferred Movers Network is like a “trust seal” for moving companies that keep customers’ needs front and center. To earn a place in this network, a company must meet key standards, which include:

  • Clear Pricing – Preferred Movers Network members give free quotes and list all fees upfront so you’re not caught off guard by hidden charges.
  • Background Checks – The Preferred Movers Network carefully checks both the company and employees to ensure they meet safety and honesty requirements.
  • Fully Licensed & Insured – Only movers with proper state and federal licenses, plus full insurance (including workers’ compensation), qualify.
  • Full-Service Capabilities – Preferred Movers Network-certified movers can pack, load, transport, unload, store, and even handle special items like pianos.
  • Independent Ownership – The Preferred Movers Network only recognizes local, privately owned businesses (not large, nationally franchised chains).
  • Expertise in Residential & Commercial Moves – Preferred Movers can help you out whether you’re moving to a new house or relocating an office.

The Preferred Movers Network’s job doesn’t end once a mover is certified; it continues to review these companies to ensure they maintain these strict standards over time.
