Long distance move - Trust moving company unpack


I will be moving cross country and wonder whether to entrust the movers with handling my system. A friend is doing the packing on the load in side.  My question is should I trust the movers on the load out to uncrate and place my system in my new home? Or better to reach out to a local audio shop and have a tech do it.  COVID scenario complicates the issue since I am in.a high risk category and will not be at either site but will FaceTime with the movers.  I will have a friend present at unload but she won't be able to manage heavy components.  
Thanks for any advice and stay well.

I don't think I'd trust movers for that - just too much of an investment to put into inexperienced hands. We worked with a really good moving company a couple years ago (Three Men & A Truck - they were great) but there's no way I was letting them touch any of my equipment. Even with insurance covering damages, I'd be reluctant to let them handle anything since the compensation rate tends to be pretty low unless you go for a high priced extra insurance plan.
