At White Gloves Moving LLC, we concentrate on direct carrier services and carefully screened moving partners, packers, and crews. Our objective is to facilitate clear communication, set realistic expectations, ensure professional handling, and deliver trustworthy service from pickup through to delivery.

Make sure to obtain the booklet Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move from the mover and broker. Always verify a company’s USDOT number, reviews, and physical business presence before booking. Extremely low estimates can sometimes lead to unexpected charges later in the process. Choosing a professional carrier helps protect your belongings and provides peace of mind during an interstate or long-distance relocation.

Carrier vs. Broker Education
When planning a move, it is important to understand the difference between a moving carrier and a moving broker. Many customers believe the company they book with will handle their move directly, but that is not always the case.
A moving carrier owns or operates trucks, employs moving crews, and handles transportation directly. A broker, on the other hand, sells the job to another company for fulfillment. While some brokers operate legally, many customers experience unexpected price increases, poor communication, delayed deliveries, or unvetted crews because the move was outsourced after booking.
- Greater accountability
- Better communication during transit
- Professionally trained crews
- Consistent service standards
- Reduced risk of hidden outsourcing
- Clearer pricing and scheduling expectations
Questions to Ask Before Booking a Move
- Are you a moving carrier or a broker?
- Will your company handle my pickup and delivery?
- Do you own or operate your trucks?
- Is your company licensed and insured?
- Who do I contact during transit?
- How does your cancellation policy work?
- Which company's name will be listed on the Bill of Lading?
White Gloves Moving LLC offers trusted local & long-distance moving, packing, and nationwide relocation services with vetted professional crews.
At White Gloves Moving LLC, we want to ensure your move is defined by professional care, not "broker" bait-and-switch tactics.
The Broker Risk vs. The White Gloves Moving Difference
Many companies you find online are broker middlemen who sell your contract to the lowest bidder. This often leads to "Quality Assurance" calls that result in surprise price hikes and zero accountability once your items are on a truck.
We are a Moving Carrier, not a broker. As a licensed, family-owned moving company, we handle your relocation from start to finish.
At White Gloves Moving, we take a different approach.
What truly sets our company apart is our team and the standards we require before anyone enters a customer’s home. Every crew member must pass a strict professional packing course before being sent on-site. Our movers are trained to properly wrap, pad, and secure furniture and household items to prevent damage during transport. In addition, all team members go through a background check process. We believe handling someone’s home and personal belongings requires trust, professionalism, and care. Our crews treat every move as if the items were their own. White Gloves Moving LLC is a licensed, family-owned moving carrier, not a broker. This means we personally handle your relocation from start to finish. Your move is never passed off to an unknown third party. Our mission is to provide a smooth, professional moving experience without stress, confusion, or surprise fees.
If you have already booked with a broker, there are a few important things you should be aware of:
• After paying your deposit, you may lose direct contact with your original representative and instead communicate with a customer service department that may not be familiar with the details of your move.
• Many brokers schedule a second “Quality Assurance” walkthrough after booking. This often results in additional charges that can significantly increase the original quoted price. Always verify your shipping list and service order carefully.
• Brokers often have limited cancellation flexibility, since their business model is centered around securing deposits rather than performing the actual move.
