Before you book Forward Moving LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1021236
Forward Moving LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1021236. 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
Forward Moving LLC had 11 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% 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 Forward Moving 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 $495 – $817
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Exton at $495 – $817 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $513 – $684. A surveyed, written estimate from Forward Moving LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
