Before you book Keller Transfer Line Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC82079
Keller Transfer Line Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC82079. 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 1 out-of-service order
1 of Keller Transfer Line Inc's 2 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
Keller Transfer Line Inc files 10 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
5 of the 10 power units Keller Transfer Line Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 75812, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $465 – $747
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Grand Rapids at $465 – $747 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,245 – $4,326. A surveyed, written estimate from Keller Transfer Line Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
