How we ranked the top Tennessee movers

Why you should trust us

We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in Tennessee.

Rating Methodology

Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Tennessee:

Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 422 companies that offer moving services in the Tennessee area.

From these 422 companies, we analyzed a total of 62,925 reviews dating all the way back to December 2007.

We also reviewed a total of 11 state and federal moving licenses from these 422 companies and 1,270 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~62,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 157,987 data points to compute individual company scores.

Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 23,601 Nashville moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.

Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer.
