Before you book Top Notch Movers
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1066819
Top Notch Movers can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1066819. 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 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Top Notch Movers's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (50.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Top Notch Movers 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 $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 $4,212 – $5,616. A surveyed, written estimate from Top Notch Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
