Movers in Bedford

Bulk items and brush go to the curb on your regular trash day, up to four cubic yards a week. Each bulk item must be no larger than 3 by 3 by 12 feet, and concrete isn't accepted. If the garage holds more than that, start setting piles out several weeks ahead, or call Republic Services at 817-317-2000 for a paid special pickup.

For the new place, Oncor lists Bedford among its cities and sends new customers to PowerToChoose.org to pick a retail provider; edge addresses can be on a co-op, so check yours. Water comes from the city; Public Works is at 817-952-2200.

Texas requires any company moving household goods for pay to register with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, whatever its truck size. Search the company on TxDMV's Truck Stop lookup; "Active" means licensed. TxDMV's Enforcement Division gives complaint history at 1-888-368-4689. A registered mover also holds a federal number such as a USDOT number.

• Ads should carry a "TxDMV No." and a Texas street address.
• Trucks should show the company name and TxDMV number on both sides; TxDMV calls unmarked or rental trucks a warning sign.
• Be wary of a very low advertised price that rises once the truck is loaded, a pattern TxDMV links to unlicensed movers.

If you are leaving Texas, the move falls under the FMCSA instead, and its consumer site is protectyourmove.gov.

Bedford mover insurance

Texas household goods carriers must carry cargo coverage of at least $5,000 per shipper's load and $10,000 for several shippers' goods on one vehicle, and keep proof of liability insurance in the cab. Ask to see it on moving day.

TxDMV doesn't regulate what movers charge. HomeGuide's national range (November 2025) for a 2- to 3-bedroom local move under 50 miles is $900 to $2,800, at $50 to $100 or more per mover per hour with a 3- to 5-hour minimum. Get two or three written quotes, since prices vary. The Texas movers guide has more.

Bedford moving quotes in writing

Before loading, you should have a written proposal stating the most you could be charged, either binding or not-to-exceed, plus TxDMV's rights brochure. Liability is set by agreement and can be as low as 60 cents per pound per item, so ask about transit insurance. File any damage claim in writing within 90 days of delivery.
