Before you book Universal Moving Solutions Inc
- 1
Open the USDOT number on the federal record
Operating authority must be active and the legal name and Herrin address must match what you were told. No number, or a number that belongs to another company, ends the conversation.
- 2
Ask whose number will be on the bill of lading
A van-line agent moves you under the van line's authority; an independent under its own; a broker under a carrier you have not met. The company legally responsible for your goods is the one whose USDOT number is on the contract.
- 3
Get a surveyed, written estimate
Long-distance prices depend on weight, and nobody can weigh a home over the phone. A binding estimate fixes the price for the listed inventory; a non-binding one may not be exceeded by more than 110% at delivery.
- 4
Choose valuation before moving day
Released value pays 60 cents per pound per article. Full value protection is the default unless you waive it in writing. Decide now, not after a claim.
- 5
Pay little or nothing up front
Established carriers bill on delivery. A large deposit, especially by wire, cash or a payment app, is the most reliable warning sign in the business.
- 6
Read the estimate for the extras
Stairs, long carries, shuttle trucks, packing and storage-in-transit are separate lines. If they are not on the estimate, they will be on the bill.
