Frequently asked questions
How was my company selected
The Best of Movers Committee selects 200 of the top moving companies in the U.S. and Canada each year based on company size, Google rating and review volume, tenure, and community involvement. No application was required — you earned this.
Do I have to attend SUMMIT to receive my award?
No — your Best of Movers certificate will be mailed to the address you provide in the certificate form. However, if you're nominated as a Best of the Best finalist or your team member is a finalist, we encourage you to come in person. The jacket is presented on stage, and the moment is worth the trip.

The nomination portal closes on August 15, 2026. Finalists for all categories will be announced publicly on September 1.
Can I nominate my company AND my team members?
Yes! You can nominate your company for up to 2 Best of the Best specialty awards and nominate up to 3 individual team members for the team member awards — all in the same nomination form.
