Before you book Reynolds Transfer & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC79758
Reynolds Transfer & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC79758. 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 1 out-of-service order
1 of Reynolds Transfer & Storage Inc's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (25.0%, 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
Reynolds Transfer & Storage Inc files 19 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 34 power units Reynolds Transfer & Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 74488, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Madison at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,230 – $5,640. A surveyed, written estimate from Reynolds Transfer & Storage Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
