Question : When it comes to professional moving companies. What is the difference between a mover and a transfer company?
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
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
