Before you book Empire Piano Movers
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC659758
Empire Piano Movers can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC659758. 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 1 out-of-service order
1 of Empire Piano Movers's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (25.0%, 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 Empire Piano Movers 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
1 of the 2 power units Empire Piano Movers files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1660602, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $495 – $817
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in York at $495 – $817 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $824 – $1,098. A surveyed, written estimate from Empire Piano Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
