Before you book Moyers Transfer
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC154853
Moyers Transfer can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC154853. 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
Moyers Transfer had 2 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Moyers Transfer 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 $505 – $817
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Middlesboro at $505 – $817 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,123 – $4,164. A surveyed, written estimate from Moyers Transfer far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
