Before you book Eagle Van Lines
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC479822
Eagle Van Lines can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC479822. 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 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Eagle Van Lines's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (50.0%, 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
Eagle 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
Ask whose truck arrives
5 of the 6 power units Eagle Van Lines files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1204145, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $525 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Watertown Town at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $977 – $1,302. A surveyed, written estimate from Eagle Van Lines far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
