I recently contracted a mover through uShip.com to move me from SW Florida to New York State, approx. 1,300 miles. A few of the bids were $2,300; this particular mover bid $2,000. He is a new company out of Atlanta, does not have any references through the uShip website, utilizes a business name that I cannot seem to find via any Internet searches. It is his plan to rent a 26' Penske truck for the move of my 3/2 home. He has sent me copies of his and his employee's driver's licenses and I can purchase full coverage insurance for $20/day through Penske. We have spoken a few times on the phone & emailed back & forth approx. 8 times. I need to move at or around the end of this month/beginning of June and have concerns about this mover - any thoughts or suggestions?
If you have the nagging feeling that you should not trust him --then no you should not. If you just listen to that voice you know the right answer. Saving a little money is not worth it.

I second that comment...They sound to new so they me be in over there head.
Depends. How much is your stuff worth? How attached to it are you?
Seriously though, while he could be a legit independent contractor, I would pay the extra $300 and get a mover I was comfortable with. The more expensive movers probably already include insurance as well (and who knows what that $20/day actually insures).
