Before you book Union Storage and Transfer Company
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC180521
Union Storage and Transfer Company can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC180521. 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 Fargo references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Union Storage and Transfer Company's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Fargo you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Union Storage and Transfer Company files 1 tractor. 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
Judge the estimate against $525 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Fargo at $525 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $6,345 – $8,460. A surveyed, written estimate from Union Storage and Transfer Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
