Before you book Gentle Giant Moving Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC218762
Gentle Giant Moving Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC218762. 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
Gentle Giant Moving Company had 78 roadside inspections in 24 months and 2 vehicle out-of-service orders (4.9% 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
Gentle Giant Moving Company files 10 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
74 of the 88 power units Gentle Giant Moving Company files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 373544, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $525 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Winchester at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $999 – $1,332. A surveyed, written estimate from Gentle Giant Moving Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
