- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC774904
Schmidt and Sons Building Movers Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC774904. 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.

Ask for Kindred references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Schmidt and Sons Building Movers Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Kindred you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer

- 4
