Question by vida (Vida)
Consumer Report: Coakley Bros, USDOT #609018
We are having a visual inspection scheduled for Coakley Brothers DOT #609018. When we called Allied Vans, they gave us his number. Has there been any problem with Coakley Brothers?
Thanks!

To stay on a safe side follow the guidelines in our Moving Guide regarding closing deals with movers and understanding your estimate, and make sure you insist on having an on-site visual and getting a binding estimate (but that should be done regardless of who you choose for your move), and insure your valuable items on MovingInsurance.com.
Good luck with your move,
