Any agreement for a moving services is solely between you and the independent mover you choose.
How to vet a mover
1
Check their license or USDOT number
Ask for it, then look it up yourself on the FMCSA database.
2
Ask for proof of insurance
A legitimate mover can provide a certificate of insurance on request.
3
Read reviews carefully
Look for patterns in recent reviews, not just the star average.
4
Get everything in writing
Confirm pricing, dates, and damage coverage before moving day.
