Before you book Isaacs Moving and Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC272369
Isaacs Moving and Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC272369. 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 Isaacs Moving and Storage's 9 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (22.2%, 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
Isaacs Moving and Storage files 9 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
16 of the 25 power units Isaacs Moving and Storage files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 552840, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $525 – $859
