Why Credentials Matter
The moving industry has a well-documented problem with unlicensed operators — companies that quote low, then hold belongings hostage for inflated charges, or simply disappear with your property. Verifying a mover's credentials before you hire is the single most important step you can take to protect yourself. Windy City Movers publishes all license numbers openly and encourages you to verify them directly with the issuing agencies.
