Before you book J H Ball Moving & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC283127
J H Ball Moving & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC283127. 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 Springfield references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about J H Ball Moving & Storage Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Springfield you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
J H Ball Moving & Storage Inc 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
Ask whose truck arrives
2 of the 2 power units J H Ball Moving & Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 581051, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
