- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Grosse Pointe Moving Company files 1 tractor. 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

The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Detroit at $465 – $747 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,507 – $3,342. A surveyed, written estimate from Grosse Pointe Moving Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
