Before you book Wheaton Moving & Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC287481
Wheaton Moving & Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC287481. 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 Indianapolis references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Wheaton Moving & Storage's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Indianapolis you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Wheaton Moving & Storage 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 $485 – $789
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Indianapolis at $485 – $789 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,344 – $4,458. A surveyed, written estimate from Wheaton Moving & Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
