Hourly rates are scaled to Florida: hand movers there earn a median $18.35 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $38–$47 per mover per hour.

Before you book 2 College Brothers Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC982991
2 College Brothers Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC982991. 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
2 College Brothers Inc had 11 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% 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 2 College Brothers 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
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 8 power units 2 College Brothers Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2787568, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Tampa at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,265 – $7,020. A surveyed, written estimate from 2 College Brothers Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
