Hello everyone!
So far, I have only moved within the nearby region using a company.
Now I have a move coming up this summer that’s about 600 km (370 miles) away.
What is the best way to search for a moving company? Should I look for one at the destination or at the original location?
How is it usually organized? Does the company load the truck the day before and then drive off early in the morning? Has anyone here done something like this before?
Our last move (40 km / 25 miles) already took almost an entire day (from about 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.). If I have to add another 550 km (340 miles) on top of that, will this become a multi-day operation?
When I first moved up here, I barely had any belongings (was a student) and organized the move myself with a van. But now we definitely need a truck, and none of us can drive one.
I’d appreciate your tips and experiences.

We have now moved 400km (250 miles).
We chose a local company for the second time that is a member of the AMÖ association.
We selected them from the mid-range of the quotes.
The move went very well.
They packed with a team of six people and partially disassembled furniture. Then, with four people, they unpacked and reassembled everything.
Nothing was damaged. We paid by invoice at the end.
The amount was exactly what had been quoted.
The team was in good spirits and worked well together.
No external helpers were involved.
