Before you book McKinney & Sons Transfer LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC790916
McKinney & Sons Transfer LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC790916. 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 about the 4 out-of-service orders
4 of McKinney & Sons Transfer LLC's 11 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (36.4%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
McKinney & Sons Transfer LLC files 18 tractors. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $435 – $719
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Lexington at $435 – $719 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,352 – $5,802. A surveyed, written estimate from McKinney & Sons Transfer LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
