Before you book Safeway Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1335229
Safeway Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1335229. 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 which truck and crew you get
Safeway Moving had 55 roadside inspections in 24 months and 6 vehicle out-of-service orders (18.8% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Safeway Moving files 16 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 $485 – $789
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Hobart at $485 – $789 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,623 – $4,830. A surveyed, written estimate from Safeway Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
