- 2
Ask which truck and crew you get
Continental Van Lines had 9 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
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Continental Van Lines files 1 tractor. 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 $475 – $775
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Palatine at $475 – $775 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,852 – $5,136. A surveyed, written estimate from Continental Van Lines far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
