Before you book Medley's Moving & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC78528
Medley's Moving & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC78528. 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 Chicago references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Medley's Moving & Storage Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Chicago you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Judge the estimate against $475 – $775
