Before you book Mastodon Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC755234
Mastodon Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC755234. 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
Mastodon Moving had 4 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
Ask whose truck arrives
6 of the 8 power units Mastodon Moving files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2174430, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $525 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Westborough at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $860 – $1,146. A surveyed, written estimate from Mastodon Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
