Before you book Monroe Transfer & Storage Co Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC129470
Monroe Transfer & Storage Co Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC129470. 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 Norfolk references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Monroe Transfer & Storage Co Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Norfolk you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Monroe Transfer & Storage Co 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
2 of the 18 power units Monroe Transfer & Storage Co Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 169188, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Norfolk at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,530 – $2,040. A surveyed, written estimate from Monroe Transfer & Storage Co Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
