Supplier Management
Elite Moving Labor is a nationwide provider of moving labor service for residential, commercial and government accounts. We are dedicated to providing clean cut, friendly, experienced movers for loading, unloading, packing and furniture movement at an affordable price.
We offer a seamless solution by giving customers a single point of contact, reliable service, standardized rates and a high level of service for every move. While we maintain internal crews for many moves we simply cannot cover the entire country with our own moving teams and require qualified moving companies to perform these services in the same professional manner that we would expect from our internal teams.
Moving labor and full service moving companies are encouraged to apply and join our team as a Supplier. We are interested in reputable, licensed, insured and professional moving companies and will only approve applicant companies that meet our criteria.

What is a State Entity?
This is a legal standing most states require a company to have. The most common types or Limited Liability Company (LLC) and a C-Corp (Inc). You may also choose to file a "Doing Business As" which is commonly referred to as a DBA. Regardless of how you choose to setup your legal structure, almost every state requires that you establish a legal entity on the state level. This means that a county license or city license is not enough to be a legal company.

In Maryland the department is Assessments & Taxation while in Virginia it is the State Corporation Commission. Try finding your state department by searching "my state corporation department".
What is Released Valuation Coverage?
A basic coverage required by law for moving companies to provide to their customers. Moving labor companies must extend this coverage to any item moved while on site for the load, unload or pack. Because we generally do not transport the items our liability ends at the completion of our time on site.

While there is no specific length requirement, an applicant must show significant experience in the industry.
