Before you book Robinson Transfer Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC266288
Robinson Transfer Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC266288. 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 for Hastings references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Robinson Transfer Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Hastings you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Robinson Transfer Inc files 7 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
Judge the estimate against $535 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Hastings at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,216 – $6,954. A surveyed, written estimate from Robinson Transfer Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
