Before you book Atlantic Relocation Systems
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1007641
Atlantic Relocation Systems can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1007641. 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
Atlantic Relocation Systems had 3 roadside inspections in 24 months. 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
Atlantic Relocation Systems files 4 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
8 of the 17 power units Atlantic Relocation Systems files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2385545, 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 Tacoma at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,654 – $16,872. A surveyed, written estimate from Atlantic Relocation Systems far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
