Before you book Dudley's Transcontinental Movers
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC564
Dudley's Transcontinental Movers can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC564. 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 Ralston references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Dudley's Transcontinental Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Ralston you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3

The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Ralston at $505 – $817 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $6,021 – $8,028. A surveyed, written estimate from Dudley's Transcontinental Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
