Before you book Paulk's Moving & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC135068
Paulk's Moving & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC135068. 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 Panama City references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Paulk's Moving & Storage Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Panama City you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Paulk's Moving & Storage Inc 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 $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Panama City at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,135 – $6,846. A surveyed, written estimate from Paulk's Moving & Storage Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
