Is the moving company properly licensed and are they insured?
To find out, ask the for their DOT number. Then start asking questions about their permits, workers compensation and state licenses. If they can’t provide answers, they’re probably a cut-rate mover and you won’t want to deal with them. Movers’ licenses exist so that consumers will have basic insurance coverage for their belongings and a way to file complaints and collect damages for items lost or damaged during a move. The licenses must be applied for, approved, and then kept current with renewals.
