Before you book Advance Relocation Systems
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC20544
Advance Relocation Systems can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC20544. 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
Advance Relocation Systems had 8 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
Advance Relocation Systems files 4 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 9 power units Advance Relocation Systems files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 122614, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
