A two-bedroom move in Somerville: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $45–$56 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $525 – $859.

Before you book ABC Moving Services Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC181400
ABC Moving Services Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC181400. 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 Somerville references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about ABC Moving Services Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Somerville you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No ABC Moving Services Inc 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 $525 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Somerville at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $995 – $1,326. A surveyed, written estimate from ABC Moving Services Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
