Bradford Movers

Bradford Movers traces back to 1946 — eighty years of Massachusetts moving work, now run as a sole proprietorship by Donald P. LaRiviere out of a Plaistow, New Hampshire post office box, with two employees. That combination tells you most of what you need: this is a small, long-lived outfit, not a crew-of-twenty operation. The work spans household and office moves, piano moving and delivery, and climate-controlled storage. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+, though it has never sought BBB accreditation. Its BBB file also lists the paperwork a mover is supposed to carry: a US Department of Transportation number (446788), a Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities registration (Mass DPU 4661), and an Interstate Commerce license (224026). Those are the bureau's record of what the company reported, not confirmations from the agencies, so verify the DOT number yourself if you are moving across a state line. What is missing is customers. No reviews have surfaced on any source, which for an eighty-year-old business is unusual and leaves nothing to judge the work by. Ask for three recent references and their addresses, get the valuation coverage and the storage terms in writing, and confirm who is actually on the truck — with two employees, the crew for a full-house move likely comes from somewhere.
