Before you book Big River Transfer Corp
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1664770
Big River Transfer Corp can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1664770. 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 3 out-of-service orders
3 of Big River Transfer Corp's 6 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (50.0%, 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
Big River Transfer Corp files 2 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
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Memphis at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,991 – $6,654. A surveyed, written estimate from Big River Transfer Corp far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
