Before you book Talent's Moving & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1405976
Talent's Moving & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1405976. 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 9 out-of-service orders
9 of Talent's Moving & Storage Inc's 34 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (26.5%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Talent's Moving & Storage 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
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 8 power units Talent's Moving & Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 3854391, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Chattanooga at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,807 – $5,076. A surveyed, written estimate from Talent's Moving & Storage Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
