Before you book Florida State Movers
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC774466

- 2
Ask about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Florida State Movers's 3 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (33.3%, 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
Florida State Movers files 3 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
Ask whose truck arrives
2 of the 4 power units Florida State Movers files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2268216, 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 $5,261 – $7,014. A surveyed, written estimate from Florida State Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
