Research Florida movers

MoveTrustHub organizes federal authority identifiers, Florida FDACS registrations, and directory headquarters so you can research a mover before you hire. This is a research system — not a paid lead marketplace, ranking, or “vetted” list.

Florida research snapshot

These figures count registrations and directory profiles separately. They are not “all Florida movers,” and headquarters is not service area.

  • 1,099

    Active Florida IM registrations

    Not “all Florida movers.” Inactive/expired rows are excluded. Most registrations are not public directory profiles.

    Open matching research

  • 26

    Active Florida moving-broker registrations

    Small population. Unresolved/unlinked brokers are not counted as companies.

  • 941

    IM registrations linked to a company (verified)

    A verified link is not a published profile and is not a safety rating.

  • 483

    Publishable directory profiles headquartered in Florida

    Headquarters is not proof of Florida operating authority. Address-only HQ is not FDACS registration.

    Open matching research

  • 3,875

    Official FDACS contact observations

    Not a complete phone book. Missing contact is null, never invented.

Authority extract as of 2026-08-21. Not a live FDACS session.

Provider / authority intelligence

USDOT, MC, Florida registration, and the legal business name stay distinct unless a verified link exists. A company can hold more than one authority.

  • Carriers (interstate directory): publishable profiles whose headquarters field is in Florida — 483. Filter: Florida headquarters.
  • Florida IM registrations: 1,099 active rows. Verified company links: 941. A registration is not automatically a public profile.
  • Florida moving-broker registrations: 26 active rows. Broker chrome is not claimed as a consumer directory facet beyond these registrations.

Safety intelligence

Inspection volume is not quality. Out-of-service events are not automatically a “bad mover” score. This page does not publish Florida inspection, crash, or safety-rating censuses because the live directory safety-rating field is Not Rated and no inspection event table is attributed to this population.

Look up a specific USDOT on Verify DOT.

Regulatory & Enforcement History

A complaint is not a violation. A complaint is not a final finding. An investigation is not enforcement. A notice is not a final order. FDACS complaint and enforcement extracts are not loaded, so this page does not display complaint counts.

Official contact observations currently stored: 3,875. Secondary phones and emails are kept as separate observations and do not overwrite a primary company contact.

Geographic intelligence

Figures below use headquartered in / business address in as stored. Operating geography is not inferred from headquarters.

    Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

    Intrastate household-goods mover registrations (IM), status, and business identity fields as exported from the official lookup.

    Coverage: Current registry snapshot (historical applications not fully acquired). Not a complaint or enforcement census. Not every registration has a public MoveTrustHub profile.

  • FDACS moving-broker registrations

    Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

    Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

    USDOT / MC identifiers, allowed-to-operate / authority_active flags, and safety-rating field on directory companies.

    Coverage: As refreshed on company rows (fmcsa_last_checked). Safety rating is currently Not Rated for the live directory census. Inspection and crash censuses are not published as Florida Intelligence metrics. Inspection volume is not quality.

How to use this research

Interstate vs intrastate

A move that crosses a state line is interstate and is regulated federally (USDOT / MC authority). A move that stays entirely inside Florida is intrastate and may require a Florida FDACS mover registration. Headquarters in Florida does not, by itself, prove either authority.

Continue

Carrier vs broker

A carrier operates trucks and is responsible for the shipment. A broker arranges transportation and does not haul the goods. Some companies hold both. Research the entity that will actually move your household goods, not only the brand on the estimate.

Continue

Why USDOT and MC matter

USDOT identifies the motor-carrier entity. MC (docket) identifies operating authority. They are related but not interchangeable. A Florida registration number is a third identifier. Do not treat a numeric fragment as unique.

Continue

Florida registration

Intrastate household-goods movers in Florida register with FDACS. Registration status is a source field. Expired, inactive, or unresolved rows are not treated as current authority. Out-of-state companies can be registered to operate in Florida without being headquartered here.

Estimates and contracts

Compare the written estimate, the mover named on it, and the authority identifiers. Binding vs non-binding estimates, extra fees, and who will actually perform the work should be in writing before a deposit.

Continue

Deposits and payment demands

Large up-front cash demands, last-minute truck swaps, and pressure to sign blank documents are research red flags — not automatic proof of fraud. Verify the named carrier’s authority and keep the paper trail.

How to read complaint and enforcement records

A complaint is a raw observation, not a finding. An investigation is not enforcement. A notice is not a final order. When this research graph has final dispositions, they are labeled separately. Counts of complaints are not guilt.
