Quick FMCSA Tips

  • Always ask for the mover's USDOT and MC numbers and look them up yourself on fmcsa.dot.gov.
  • Prefer companies with “Satisfactory” safety rating and low complaint-to-shipment ratios.
  • Brokers must be registered. If a company only brokers your move, they still need proper authority.
  • Get everything in writing — especially pickup/delivery windows and valuation options.

Common Scam Warnings

• Extremely lowball quotes (30-50% under everyone else)

• No physical address or only a P.O. Box

• Demands large deposit via wire, Venmo, or gift cards

• Refuses to do in-home estimate or video survey

• Changes price dramatically on delivery day
