Our Mission
I'm Adrian Martinez, owner of south Orange County-based Best Priced Moving and Storage Company. BPM is pleased to offer customers what I feel is an outstanding value from both a quality of service and competitive pricing standpoint. We believe this combination has helped contribute to our continued growth and reputation, as a trustworthy and successful moving company. Although BPM is relatively new when compared to others in the industry, I've worked diligently in the field, since 2007, paying close attention to the competition with the goal of, one day, starting my own moving business. Today, I'm convinced we're in a great position to seriously challenge the more established moving companies, especially, here in the SoCal area. I look forward to converting many of you into believers, as well.

About the Industry
Roughly, 80% of California-based companies that offer services as household movers operate illegally, without a license. BPM is a licensed and fully insured "Household Goods Carrier", in accordance with state law, as administered by the California Public Utilities Commission (CAL. P.U.C. T-191400). Consumers should never ignore or minimize this reality when deciding who they'll hire to manage their move. Movers operating illegally without a license or proper insurance coverage , are subject to as much as a $50,000 penalty. You ABSOLUTELY cannot operate as a professional mover in California without maintaining an active CPUC license. If you'd like to learn more about what it takes to become a licensed mover, in California, read the next section, entitled, Why All The Fuss About Hiring A Licensed Mover?
Why All The Fuss About Hiring A Licensed Mover?
BPM has met all requirements to operate as a licensed moving company, within the state of California (CAL. P.U.C. T-191400). I felt it was important to take a moment to inform consumers of the key points that differentiate a legal operation from one which is not.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) licenses and regulates the movement of household goods and personal effects, within the state. Earning the right to work as a household goods carrier did not come easy, as some might, otherwise, believe. Aside from going through a rigorous application process, which required proving our financial and safety fitness, we also had to prove our ability to thoroughly comprehend applicable rules and tariff-rate tables, designed to address all possible moving scenarios. Among other requirements, we also had to take and pass a mandatory 7-hour examination with a minimum 80% score.
I'm making note of this for the primary purpose of having you, our prospect, appreciate the fact that when you hire a mover you should proceed with caution and forethought. Knowing that your chosen mover operates legally elicits a higher degree of trust and confidence that your move will be completed safely and efficiently and at a cost that's fair and equitable. In the same way you wouldn't hire an auto-body repairman to set a broken leg or a bus driver to pilot a 747, you should only move forward with your decision after ensuring that the mover is properly licensed and insured - this is the only way to have complete peace of mind, especially, as your agreement is consummated and work begins.
Here's a list of absolutes that will help you distinguish a licensed mover from one who is non-licensed (FYI: Many California-based movers are either inactive or never qualified for a license, altogether):
• Complete a Fictitious Business Name filing with the county clerk
• Pass the multi-part Max-4 examination, with a minimum 80% scoring average
• Fingerprint scan and criminal background clearance (i.e. Calif. Dept. of Justice, FBI)
• Present documented proof of truck maintenance and related safety records
• Procure a valid motor carrier permit, as issued by the DMV
• Acquire a Pull Notice Contract from the DMV(data-base access to driving records)
• Proof of Personal Liability Insurance; electronically filed with the CPUC
• Proof of Property Damage Insurance; electronically filed with the CPUC
• Proof of Cargo Insurance; electronically filed with the CPUC
• Proof of Workmen's Compensation Insurance; electronically filed with the CPUC
