Before you book Guardian Moving Systems Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC266430
Guardian Moving Systems Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC266430. 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 1 out-of-service order
1 of Guardian Moving Systems Inc's 1 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
Guardian Moving Systems Inc files 7 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 $4,973 – $6,630. A surveyed, written estimate from Guardian Moving Systems Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
