Before you book Senske & Son
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC158090
Senske & Son can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC158090. 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
Senske & Son had 5 roadside inspections in 24 months. 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
Senske & Son 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
4 of the 8 power units Senske & Son files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 125571, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $525 – $873
