Before you book United Van Lines
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC67234
United Van Lines can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC67234. 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 268 out-of-service orders
268 of United Van Lines's 1,102 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (24.3%, 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
United Van Lines files 2,780 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
4,731 of the 4,731 power units United Van Lines files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 77949, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Fenton at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,658 – $6,210. A surveyed, written estimate from United Van Lines far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
