Before you book Scranton Transfer Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC142370
Scranton Transfer Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC142370. 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 Fort Smith references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Scranton Transfer Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Fort Smith you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Scranton Transfer Inc 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 – $705
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Fort Smith at $435 – $705 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $6,125 – $8,166. A surveyed, written estimate from Scranton Transfer Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
