Before you book Not A Hobby Moving Company
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Not A Hobby Moving Company is registered for moves within Texas. For a move to another state, ask which interstate carrier would haul it and look up that company's USDOT number as well.
- 2
Ask for Austin references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Not A Hobby Moving Company's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Austin you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Not A Hobby Moving Company 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 Austin at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,875 – $10,500. A surveyed, written estimate from Not A Hobby Moving Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
