How to Verify a Mover
This directory is operated by American National Movers LLC, a licensed household goods broker. Moving companies pay us to receive quote requests; that never affects ratings or reviews. How we stay fair ->
Interstate movers must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Before you hire one:
- Get the USDOT number. Ask the company for its USDOT number and, for interstate moves, its MC number.
- Look it up on FMCSA. Search the number on the FMCSA SAFER and Licensing & Insurance websites. Confirm the legal name and address match what the company told you.
- Check household goods authority. The company should have active authority to move household goods.
- Check insurance. Confirm liability and cargo insurance are on file and current.
- Carrier or broker? A broker arranges your move and hands it to a carrier. Ask for the carrier's name and USDOT number.
- Read the paperwork. You should receive a written estimate and the FMCSA booklet "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move".
