Before you book with American Van Lines
Identify each shipment participant.
Ask whether AVL or another company will handle each leg. Request the legal name and USDOT number of the performing carrier, and ask whether storage or truck transfers are planned.
Reconcile the binding estimate.
Reconcile the binding estimate with the complete inventory and packing needs. Ask how added items, materials, disassembly and specialty-item work could change the price before loading begins.
Clarify any timing guarantee.
Confirm pickup and delivery windows separately, including exactly what any paid timing guarantee covers and what happens if it is missed.
Get escalation and claims contacts.
Get the coordinator's escalation contact and the damage-claim process in writing, including responsibility when another company performs the work.
