2 of Kraft Moving Service Inc's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (50.0%, 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
Kraft Moving Service Inc 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.
