Before you book New Bell Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC316166
New Bell Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC316166. 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 New Bell Storage'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
New Bell Storage 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 $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 $1,535 – $2,046. A surveyed, written estimate from New Bell Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
