Before you book Shur-Way Moving & Cartage Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC147522
Shur-Way Moving & Cartage Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC147522. 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
Shur-Way Moving & Cartage Company had 38 roadside inspections in 24 months and 3 vehicle out-of-service orders (17.6% 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
Shur-Way Moving & Cartage Company files 28 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
2 of the 50 power units Shur-Way Moving & Cartage Company files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 172887, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
