Before you book Sterling Military Movers Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under FF16748
Sterling Military Movers Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, FF16748. 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 Weirton references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Sterling Military Movers Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Weirton you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Sterling Military Movers 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
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 1 power units Sterling Military Movers Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 37594, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $445 – $719
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Weirton at $445 – $719 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,809 – $2,412. A surveyed, written estimate from Sterling Military Movers Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
