Before you book Otter Moving & Storage LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1436980
Otter Moving & Storage LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1436980. 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
Otter Moving & Storage LLC had 30 roadside inspections in 24 months and 4 vehicle out-of-service orders (17.4% 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 Otter Moving & Storage LLC 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
Judge the estimate against $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Ridgewood at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,866 – $17,154. A surveyed, written estimate from Otter Moving & Storage LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
