Before you book Lawton Moving & Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC151465
Lawton Moving & Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC151465. 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 Warwick references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Lawton Moving & Storage's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Warwick you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Lawton Moving & Storage 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 $485 – $803
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Warwick at $485 – $803 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $801 – $1,068. A surveyed, written estimate from Lawton Moving & Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
