Before you book Northstar Moving Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC9965
Northstar Moving Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC9965. 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
Northstar Moving Company had 8 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Northstar Moving Company 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 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in San Leandro at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,401 – $17,868. A surveyed, written estimate from Northstar Moving Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
