Before you book Handy Guys Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC936049
Handy Guys Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC936049. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Mobile references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Handy Guys Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Mobile you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Handy Guys Moving driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $435 – $719
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Mobile at $435 – $719 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,549 – $7,398. A surveyed, written estimate from Handy Guys Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
