Before you book Williams Moving Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC135743
Williams Moving Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC135743. 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
Williams Moving Company had 9 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% 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
Williams Moving Company files 8 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
10 of the 13 power units Williams Moving Company files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 77984, 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 Dexter at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,730 – $6,306. A surveyed, written estimate from Williams Moving Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
