Before you book Alpha Moving and Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC720122
Alpha Moving and Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC720122. 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
Alpha Moving and Storage had 7 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Alpha Moving and Storage driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
12 of the 12 power units Alpha Moving and Storage files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2047066, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Jersey City at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,825 – $17,100. A surveyed, written estimate from Alpha Moving and Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
