Our experience with Arpin Van Lines (Michigan to Maine) was terrible. Packing didn't go well, and there was a lot of damage to our belongings on delivery. We've also moved once with North American Van Lines (Michigan to Alaska) and twice with United Van Lines (Alaska to Michigan, Maine to NH). We had no issues with either of those companies.
Ask for the names of the specific individuals who will be supervising and assisting with the packing and loading. A good mover will gladly provide this information. Find out how long they've been with the company. Ask for references. If the company hedges, hang up and move on.
Once you've selected a mover, don't hesitate to call an immediate "stop work" if the process isn't going well. Call in business's the manager for a wee word.
