Before you book Carolina Freight Movers LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC569906
Carolina Freight Movers LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC569906. 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 6 out-of-service orders
6 of Carolina Freight Movers LLC's 6 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (100.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Carolina Freight Movers LLC files 5 tractors. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4

The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Orangeburg at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,281 – $4,374. A surveyed, written estimate from Carolina Freight Movers LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
