Before you book Berger Transfer & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC35358
Berger Transfer & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC35358. 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
Berger Transfer & Storage Inc had 63 roadside inspections in 24 months and 5 vehicle out-of-service orders (13.9% 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
Berger Transfer & Storage Inc files 150 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
196 of the 221 power units Berger Transfer & Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 125665, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
