Check a moving company
Enter the USDOT number, MC number or company name from your estimate.
How to check a mover yourself
- Find the USDOT number. Interstate movers must show it on their website, ads and estimate. No number is a reason to stop.
- Check the authority. For a move to another state, the company needs active household goods authority (an MC number).
- Carrier or broker. A broker sells your move to a carrier. Ask which carrier will come and check it too.
- Insurance. Carriers must keep liability and cargo insurance on file with FMCSA.
- History. A recent name change or a new registration is not bad by itself, but ask about it.
