Before you book Action Moving and Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC190629
Action Moving and Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC190629. 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 7 out-of-service orders
7 of Action Moving and Storage Inc's 22 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (31.8%, 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
Action Moving and Storage Inc files 11 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
10 of the 35 power units Action Moving and Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 434207, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
