Before you book North American Moving & Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under FF54052
North American Moving & Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, FF54052. 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 149 out-of-service orders
149 of North American Moving & Storage's 468 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (31.8%, 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
North American Moving & Storage files 958 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
1,332 of the 1,333 power units North American Moving & Storage files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 70851, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $485 – $789
