Before you book Elliott Bay Service Transfer
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC147694
Elliott Bay Service Transfer can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC147694. 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 about the 3 out-of-service orders
3 of Elliott Bay Service Transfer's 5 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (60.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Elliott Bay Service Transfer files 18 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
18 of the 18 power units Elliott Bay Service Transfer files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 63005, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
