Before you book Marathon Moving Services
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1552140
Marathon Moving Services can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1552140. 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 for Virginia Beach references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Marathon Moving Services's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Virginia Beach you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Marathon Moving Services 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 $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Virginia Beach at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,548 – $2,064. A surveyed, written estimate from Marathon Moving Services far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
