    Has anyone ever seen one of their trucks on the road? They're a moving outfit. Here's a link to their website. I'm just curious as I've never seen one of their trucks. Just wondering if they're not actually just a broker and don't have any trucks of their own.

    I'm not looking to go there. Have been getting quotes from movers and they were one of the better quotes, but I'm not going to do business with a broker. And, it looks like they're nothing but a broker outfit. Just curious to confirm whether or not that's true.

    Stay out of it. Anything to do with household. Stay away.

    They love to park you 50 miles from the new home, have you lump the piano onto a little box truck and then hump it 4 floors into that new colonial mansion.. forget it. That is the real money for them. kachink! In addition to storage. Oh your house contents? It's still in idaho.... wait a while (When the #### thing is behind that back wall....)

    He's moving and doesn't want to give his hard earned money to a brokerage firm as a fellow trucker ..he's not asking about employment

    I'm glad you understand my question and you're correct. I don't want my money going to a broker.

    Btw, this Interstate isn't the nice green trucks. That's what I thought too! But, these are different. Check the link I posted in the first post. I don't recognize the trucks in the link (never seen one on the road) and why I wonder if the pics are b.s. pics from a broker.

    Why not go to one of the LTL's and get a Pod or a Pup?

    Interstate movers used to charge by tariffs, so all mover charged the same. Not sure if that's still the situation. However, they can charge "extras" like long carry/piano/extra labor etc. The pics on the link look photoshopped to me.

    I googled the address listed on the website and it is a UPS store in a strip mall in Ft Lauderdale. That would be strike one, two ,and three for me.
