Before you book Cox Moving & Storage Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC129684
Cox Moving & Storage Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC129684. 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 Grandview references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Cox Moving & Storage Company's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Grandview you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 1 power units Cox Moving & Storage Company files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 136517, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Grandview at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,742 – $7,656. A surveyed, written estimate from Cox Moving & Storage Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
