Before you book Alma Moving Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1555382
Alma Moving Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1555382. 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 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Alma Moving Inc's 10 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (20.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Alma Moving Inc 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 $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Raleigh at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,187 – $2,916. A surveyed, written estimate from Alma Moving Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
