Before you book Phelps Moving & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC932612
Phelps Moving & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC932612. 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 Columbus references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Phelps Moving & Storage Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Columbus you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Phelps Moving & Storage 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 $455 – $747
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Columbus at $455 – $747 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,370 – $5,826. A surveyed, written estimate from Phelps Moving & Storage Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
