How to choose a moving company

What to verify before you book, and the warning signs of a moving scam.

  1. Verify USDOT and MC numbers

    Every interstate mover must carry an active USDOT number, and for-hire interstate carriers an MC number. Look them up free on the FMCSA SAFER system before you book.

  2. Insist on an in-person or video survey

    Reputable movers inspect your belongings before quoting. Prices given sight-unseen routinely get revised upward on moving day.

  3. Get a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing

    A binding (or guaranteed not-to-exceed) estimate caps what you pay; a non-binding estimate can climb. Confirm which one you have on paper.

  4. Understand your valuation coverage

    Federal rules give you two choices: free Released Value ($0.60 per pound, minimal) or Full Value Protection. Know which applies and get it in writing.

  5. Confirm the Bill of Lading and inventory

    Every legitimate move has a Bill of Lading (your contract) and usually an inventory list. No paperwork, walk away.

  6. Cross-check reviews and the legal name

    Read reviews across Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp, and confirm the legal name matches the DOT registration. Movers sometimes operate under several names.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

1. Is LocalMovers.com a moving company?

No, we are a Moving Concierge. Moving companies provide the trucks and labor; we provide the expert coordination, vetting, and advocacy. We act as your single point of contact to ensure your move is handled by a professional, licensed team.

2. How much does this service cost me?

Our concierge service is 100% free for the customer. You get a dedicated move coordinator and access to our vetted network without paying a penny more than you would if you booked a mover yourself.

3. How does this save me time?

Instead of spending hours calling different companies and repeating your inventory over and over, you contact us once. Share your move details with your coordinator, and we will gather and present multiple competitive quotes for you to choose from. We do the legwork; you make the final decision.

4. Do you handle difficult moves, like Mobile Homes?

Yes. We specialize in coordinating "complex" relocations that many standard companies won't touch, including Mobile Home moves. We have a specific network of movers equipped with the specialized gear and permits required for these types of transports.
