What to check when hiring removals / moving companies in the United States

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

  • Contractor licensing in the US is set by each state (and sometimes the city or county). For electrical, plumbing, HVAC or any major build, confirm the trade is licensed on your state's licensing board before hiring. Unlicensed work where a license is required can void permits and insurance and leave you no recourse.
  • Ask for a lien waiver as you pay each stage: in most US states an unpaid contractor or subcontractor can place a mechanic's lien on your home even if you already paid the main contractor, and a signed waiver is your protection.
  • Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
  • Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
  • Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.

How to judge a removals / moving company

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • For interstate moves, the company must have a USDOT number and FMCSA operating authority: verify it on FMCSA's website; intrastate moves are licensed by the state.
  • Get a written binding or not-to-exceed estimate, ideally after an in-home or video survey: never just a phone quote.
  • Understand the liability coverage: free 'released value' pays only 60 cents per pound, so consider full-value protection or separate moving insurance.
  • Check the FMCSA complaint history and BBB, and confirm they won't subcontract your move to an unknown carrier.

Warning signs of a rogue contractor

  • A 'hostage load' risk: a low phone quote that balloons on moving day, with the mover holding your belongings until you pay more.
  • Demands a large cash deposit, or won't provide a USDOT number or written estimate.
  • No in-home or video survey before quoting.
  • Reviews citing damage, surprise fees, or held goods.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What is your USDOT number and FMCSA or state authority so I can verify it?
  • Is this a binding or not-to-exceed estimate after a real survey?
  • What valuation or insurance options do you offer beyond 60 cents per pound?
  • Will my move be handled by your own crew or subcontracted?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy removals / moving company?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A removals / moving company backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend removals / moving companies for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Removals / moving companies are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a removals / moving company?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the removals / moving company, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
