Before you book Sourdough Transfer Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC452273
Sourdough Transfer Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC452273. 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 which truck and crew you get
Sourdough Transfer Inc had 76 roadside inspections in 24 months and 10 vehicle out-of-service orders (16.1% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Sourdough Transfer Inc files 7 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
17 of the 20 power units Sourdough Transfer Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1099784, 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 Fairbanks at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $17,267 – $23,022. A surveyed, written estimate from Sourdough Transfer Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
