Before you book McGinley Transportation Systems
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC309680
McGinley Transportation Systems can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC309680. 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
McGinley Transportation Systems had 6 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
Check the truck fits your home
No McGinley Transportation Systems driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
6 of the 8 power units McGinley Transportation Systems files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 659294, 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 Elizabeth at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,785 – $17,046. A surveyed, written estimate from McGinley Transportation Systems far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
