How to Find a Reputable Mover: Where are they located?
Does the moving company or relocation provider you’re considering have a physical ‘bricks and mortar” business address? A real place you could visit, if necessary, to see the quality of their operation or obtain supplies?
Beware of companies that don’t provide easy access to contact information in their advertisements or on their website, have no business documents, or, when asked, are hesitant to provide you with their physical business address, direct phone number, or administrative managers’ names. You should know how and where to find them if a problem arises down the road. Remember, you’re allowing them into your home to take everything you own!
If the company that you’re considering is an interstate household goods motor carrier or licensed property broker, their advertisements must, by law , be truthful and straightforward and include their trade name as it appears on the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued operating authority and their assigned US DOT #. Use this information to verify their location and compliance record by visiting the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Protect Your Move.gov website. Several states have similar advertising compliance requirements.
By choosing a mover with local representation , you probably don’t need to worry as much. Their reputation in the community is at stake with every move they do.
