Before you book Lewis & Michael Moving & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC333311
Lewis & Michael Moving & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC333311. 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 Columbus references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Lewis & Michael Moving & Storage Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Columbus you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask whose truck arrives
2 of the 3 power units Lewis & Michael Moving & Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 728239, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Columbus at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,466 – $3,288. A surveyed, written estimate from Lewis & Michael Moving & Storage Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
