Before you book Colonial Van Lines Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC681534
Colonial Van Lines Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC681534. 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
Colonial Van Lines Inc had 4 roadside inspections in 24 months. 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
Colonial Van Lines Inc files 25 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
25 of the 25 power units Colonial Van Lines Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1434373, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
