Before you book Jay's Transfer
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC301900
Jay's Transfer can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC301900. 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 Hagerstown references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Jay's Transfer's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Hagerstown you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Judge the estimate against $485 – $803
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Hagerstown at $485 – $803 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,107 – $1,476. A surveyed, written estimate from Jay's Transfer far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
