Federal authority

Confirmed registrations

These are the numbers to check us against. Any legitimate interstate mover will give you both without hesitation.

USDOT

4438821

A USDOT number identifies a carrier in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's records. It is how you look up a mover's registration, insurance filing and safety record.

1747576

An MC (Motor Carrier) number is the operating authority a carrier needs to transport goods across state lines for hire. It is the number that matters for a move between states.

State authority

Florida intrastate registration

Moves that start and end inside Florida fall under state rather than federal rules, which means a separate Florida registration number.

FDACS

IM4132

Florida requires intrastate household-goods movers to register with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and to show that IM registration number in advertising. It is the number that matters for a move that starts and ends inside Florida.

How to check

Verify before you book

You can look up any USDOT or MC number in the FMCSA's public records to confirm a carrier is registered and has insurance on file. It is worth doing for every quote you collect, not just ours.

Be wary of any mover that will not give you a number, quotes a price without reviewing your inventory, or asks for a large deposit up front.
