If you’re planning a long-distance move, you’ll want the help of experienced movers. But did you know there are different types of moving agents who will be involved in getting your belongings safely from point A to point B?
Each type of agent plays an important role in providing a hassle-free moving experience. Below is a description of the four main types of agents.
Booking Agent
When you call a moving company, you’ll likely speak with a booking agent. The booking agent provides information about available services, offers pricing, and reserves the moving date. In addition to providing the quote and scheduling the move, the booking agent also coordinates the moves with other parties.
Origin Agent
The origin agent is in charge of packing, handling, and transportation. This agent’s main responsibilities are ensuring items are packed properly, oversees the loading on to the moving truck, and is accountable to make sure all items are properly secured.
Hauling Agent
Hauling agents sometimes work with carriers to organize transportation and track shipments. This is the agent who works to ensure your belongings arrive at their destination on time.
Destination Agent
Destination agents oversee the delivery, unloading, and unpacking. This is the final agent you’ll deal with when completing a move.
Do You Have to Hire Separate Companies for Each Type of Agent?
Some moving companies are not able to fulfil the role of booking agent, origin agent, hauling agent, and destination agent. If, however, a moving company has an interstate moving license, they then are able to serve in all four roles.
Covan World-Wide Moving is an example of a moving company that can take care of every detail of your move. Our residential movers allow you to work with just one company instead of having to see out separate vendors.
