The Preferred Movers Network (PMN) is a group of independent moving companies that have proven they follow the industry’s highest standards. These companies must show they are honest, dependable, and excellent at what they do. Unlike regular business listings where any company can sign up, PMN thoroughly checks each moving company before certifying them. They only approve companies that have consistently made customers happy, followed all rules and regulations, and can handle every part of a move from start to finish.
APACA Moving & Storage has earned PMN certification, which shows we are dedicated to providing top-quality service. This certification isn’t just for show—it means your possessions will be moved by professionals who have met PMN’s strict standards. Our company has helped people move throughout New Mexico for decades. APACA’s owner, Chris Dijulio, brings over 55 years of moving industry experience. You can count on APACA to handle your move smoothly from beginning to end.
The Preferred Movers Network checks and approves moving companies that put customers first. To earn PMN approval, movers must meet these key standards:
✅ Clear Pricing – Preferred Movers provide free estimates and tell you all costs upfront—no unexpected fees later.
✅ Thorough Background Checks – They investigate both the moving companies and their workers to ensure safety.
✅ Fully Licensed & Insured – All Preferred Movers must carry the proper USDOT registration and state moving licenses. They should also carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance policies.
✅ Full-Service Moving Support – They can handle every part of your move—packing boxes, loading trucks, driving to your new home, storing items if needed, and moving special items like pianos.
✅ Independent Ownership – They are all local moving companies, not big chains or middlemen who hire other movers to do the work.
✅ Residential & Commercial Moves – Preferred Movers are qualified to move you across town or the country, whether you’re moving your home or your business.
Unlike any regular moving company listings you find online, PMN keeps checking these companies to make sure they keep following these rules.
