How Meathead Movers Inc operates, from its filing

- Miles driven
- 1,215,716 miles reported for 2025, about 22,938 per truck.

Before you book Meathead Movers Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under FF69654
Meathead Movers Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, FF69654. 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 which truck and crew you get
Meathead Movers Inc had 125 roadside inspections in 24 months and 3 vehicle out-of-service orders (3.4% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Meathead Movers 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 $515 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in San Luis Obispo at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,311 – $17,748. A surveyed, written estimate from Meathead Movers Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
