Before you book Reliable Van Lines Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1228070
Reliable Van Lines Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1228070. 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
Reliable Van Lines Inc had 12 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (12.5% 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 Reliable Van Lines Inc 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
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Clifton at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,789 – $17,052. A surveyed, written estimate from Reliable Van Lines Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
