Before you book Ideal Moving and Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC612157
Ideal Moving and Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC612157. 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 about the 4 out-of-service orders
4 of Ideal Moving and Storage Inc's 7 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (57.1%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Ideal Moving and Storage 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
Ask whose truck arrives
2 of the 3 power units Ideal Moving and Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1664920, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $445 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Dallas at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,205 – $9,606. A surveyed, written estimate from Ideal Moving and Storage Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
