Before you book Mihm Transfer Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC753870
Mihm Transfer Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC753870. 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
Mihm Transfer Inc had 24 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (16.7% 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
Mihm Transfer Inc files 12 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
Ask whose truck arrives
12 of the 12 power units Mihm Transfer Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2170310, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $505 – $831
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Fort Atkinson at $505 – $831 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,914 – $6,552. A surveyed, written estimate from Mihm Transfer Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
