Some moving companies are malicious and will hold your shit hostage while telling you that you owe them money or they lost it. Tracking might help you cut through their bullshit.

So much this. There is no rational reason for them to have an issue unless it blunts their predatory business model

There are a ton of shady movers in the industry trying to make a buck by cutting down overhead. They’ll move your stuff into a storage unit until they can combine it with other clients’ stuff into a larger (semi) truck headed in the same direction.

This level of coordination requires quite a network to work smoothly which most don’t have, hence the excessive delays and demands for more money. Possibly the worst part is that they’re staffed by the absolute cheapest day-laborers available who probably don’t care about treating your property with respect.
