Before you book Colonial Van Lines Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1560280
Colonial Van Lines Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1560280. 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 1 out-of-service order
1 of Colonial Van Lines Inc's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (25.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Colonial Van Lines Inc files 15 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 17 power units Colonial Van Lines Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 4094070, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Pompano Beach at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,567 – $7,422. A surveyed, written estimate from Colonial Van Lines Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
