Before you book Sam's Moving & Overseas Shipping Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC469996
Sam's Moving & Overseas Shipping Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC469996. 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 for Kearny references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Sam's Moving & Overseas Shipping Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Kearny you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Sam's Moving & Overseas Shipping Inc files 2 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
