Before you book Anchor Moving Systems
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC170492
Anchor Moving Systems can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC170492. 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
Anchor Moving Systems had 8 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% 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
Anchor Moving Systems files 1 tractor. 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
5 of the 11 power units Anchor Moving Systems files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 244848, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
