How Z T E Van Lines operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 6 interstate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.

- Trucks
- 5 power units on file (4 owned and 1 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 600,000 miles reported for 2024, about 120,000 per truck.

Before you book Z T E Van Lines
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1053854
Z T E Van Lines can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1053854. 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 about the 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Z T E Van Lines's 7 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (28.6%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Z T E Van Lines 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
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 5 power units Z T E Van Lines files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 3313395, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $505 – $831
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Vernon Rockville at $505 – $831 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $585 – $780. A surveyed, written estimate from Z T E Van Lines far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
