Before you book Lohse Transfer Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC190754
Lohse Transfer Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC190754. 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
Lohse Transfer Inc had 54 roadside inspections in 24 months and 3 vehicle out-of-service orders (10.0% 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
Lohse Transfer Inc files 44 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
33 of the 61 power units Lohse Transfer Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 294301, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $535 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Maple Lake at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,535 – $7,380. A surveyed, written estimate from Lohse Transfer Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
