Before you book Wiley Transfer
- 1
Keep the move inside California
Wiley Transfer is registered for moves within California. For a move to another state, ask which interstate carrier would haul it and look up that company's USDOT number as well.
- 2
Ask for Castroville references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Wiley Transfer's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Castroville you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Wiley Transfer files 2 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 $515 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Castroville at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,406 – $17,874. A surveyed, written estimate from Wiley Transfer far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
