Before you book Stark Moving Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1093615
Stark Moving Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1093615. 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
Stark Moving Inc had 11 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (14.3% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Ask whose truck arrives
4 of the 7 power units Stark Moving Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 3398778, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $525 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Waltham at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $963 – $1,284. A surveyed, written estimate from Stark Moving Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
