Before you book Cord Moving and Storage Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC145975
Cord Moving and Storage Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC145975. 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 about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Cord Moving and Storage Company's 2 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (50.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Cord Moving and Storage Company files 12 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

The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Earth City at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,635 – $6,180. A surveyed, written estimate from Cord Moving and Storage Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
