Before you book Piece by Piece Movers
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC697653
Piece by Piece Movers can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC697653. 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
Piece by Piece Movers had 31 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 Piece by Piece Movers 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
Ask whose truck arrives
20 of the 42 power units Piece by Piece Movers files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1971286, 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 Clinton at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $882 – $1,176. A surveyed, written estimate from Piece by Piece Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
