Before you book Em Transfer Services Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC982207
Em Transfer Services Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC982207. 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 about the 5 out-of-service orders
5 of Em Transfer Services Inc's 15 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
Em Transfer Services Inc files 36 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 $475 – $775
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Addison at $475 – $775 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,834 – $5,112. A surveyed, written estimate from Em Transfer Services Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
