Before you book Pioneer Van Lines Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC146909
Pioneer Van Lines Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC146909. 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 Mercer Island references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Pioneer Van Lines Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Mercer Island you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Pioneer Van Lines Inc driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $535 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Mercer Island at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,582 – $16,776. A surveyed, written estimate from Pioneer Van Lines Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
