Before you book Gentlemen Movers Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC557443
Gentlemen Movers Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC557443. 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
Gentlemen Movers Inc had 1 roadside inspection 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 Gentlemen Movers Inc 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 $445 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Columbia at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,114 – $4,152. A surveyed, written estimate from Gentlemen Movers Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
