Before you book Family Movers
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC460087
Family Movers can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC460087. 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 Auburn references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Family Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Auburn you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Family Movers files 12 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 $535 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Auburn at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,569 – $16,758. A surveyed, written estimate from Family Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
