Mover verification
Verify Mover or Broker Before You Book
Before paying a deposit, customers should understand the company name, USDOT or MC number and what the available public information appears to show. MoveInformed can help organize that research, but it does not make legal conclusions or guarantee a mover's performance.
Use the USDOT Research Tool
Enter a company name, USDOT number or MC number to review available federal moving-company information.
What to check
- The legal company name on the estimate.
- The USDOT or MC number shown on the paperwork.
- Whether the public record appears to show broker, carrier or mover information.
- Whether household goods authority and operating status should be reviewed further.
- Whether the deposit, cancellation and delivery terms are clear in writing.
Broker vs carrier in plain English
A carrier generally transports household goods under its own authority. A broker generally arranges transportation with another company. Some companies may have multiple authority types. Customers should review the written estimate and public records before booking.
