How to choose a mobile home mover
Five things to check before booking your transporter.
Active DOT number
Verify the carrier's DOT number is active. Inactive or missing DOT = walk away.
Years under the same name
Look for 5+ years operating under the same legal business name. Frequent DBA or LLC changes can hide complaint history.
Cargo insurance for mobile homes
Specific cargo insurance for manufactured / mobile homes — not generic freight cargo. Ask for the certificate of insurance and minimum coverage amount in writing.
Permits handled for you
Reputable transporters coordinate state and county permits directly. If they say "you handle the permits," that's non-standard for a full-service move.
Setup and leveling included
Confirm whether the quote covers setup, leveling, anchoring, and utility reconnection — or just transport. Transport-only quotes are cheaper but you'll need a separate contractor for setup.
