Before you book Lausch's Moving Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1425379
Lausch's Moving Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1425379. 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
Lausch's Moving Company had 2 roadside inspections in 24 months. 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 Lausch's Moving Company 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
3 of the 3 power units Lausch's Moving Company files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 3883274, 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 West Reading at $495 – $817 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $554 – $738. A surveyed, written estimate from Lausch's Moving Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
