Is Air Van licensed?

It has no safety rating on record in 22 years of registration (since 2004): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Air Van, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 7 trucks and 9 drivers, and the registration dates from 2004.

Before you book Air Van
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1457028
Air Van can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1457028. 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 which truck and crew you get
Air Van had 11 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (16.7% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Air Van 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
3 of the 7 power units Air Van files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1215456, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $535 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Bellevue at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,564 – $16,752. A surveyed, written estimate from Air Van far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
