Before you book Nor-Cal Moving Services
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC670818
Nor-Cal Moving Services can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC670818. 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
Nor-Cal Moving Services had 29 roadside inspections in 24 months and 2 vehicle out-of-service orders (7.1% 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
Nor-Cal Moving Services files 23 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
Judge the estimate against $515 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Hayward at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,401 – $17,868. A surveyed, written estimate from Nor-Cal Moving Services far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
