Before you book Larsen Transfer Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC581
Larsen Transfer Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC581. 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 3 out-of-service orders
3 of Larsen Transfer Company's 10 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (30.0%, 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
Larsen Transfer Company files 4 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
Ask whose truck arrives
2 of the 8 power units Larsen Transfer Company files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 26510, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $535 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Richland at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $11,916 – $15,888. A surveyed, written estimate from Larsen Transfer Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
