Long Distance Moving Red Flags
The most common scam: a quote far below all competitors — they load your belongings, then hold them hostage demanding thousands more. Know what to look for.
Any mover that cannot immediately provide a USDOT number is operating illegally for interstate moves. Search USDOT #3918729 at fmcsa.dot.gov to see what a verified listing looks like — then check any other mover the same way.
If one mover quotes $2,000 and everyone else quotes $6,000 for the same move, the low number is bait. Once your belongings are loaded, the price can change dramatically and you have no leverage.
Federal law prohibits interstate movers from requiring full payment before delivery. A reasonable deposit is normal. Full payment demanded before your goods arrive is a serious warning sign.
Federal law requires interstate movers to provide a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing before loading. If you only receive a verbal quote or a vague ballpark, walk away.
Rogue movers use P.O. boxes, virtual offices, or no address at all. Moving Company Guys has two verified GBP-confirmed office addresses, both searchable on Google Maps right now.
Read every line before signing. Blank price fields, vague language like "additional charges may apply" with no ceiling, or contracts presented at the last moment are all red flags. Do not sign anything you cannot read in full.
⚠ If You Suspect a Moving Scam
Contact the FMCSA at 1-888-368-7238 or protectyourmove.gov. Contact TxDMV at 1-888-368-4689 or truckstop@txdmv.gov. Do not pay additional demands — this is extortion and federal agencies have jurisdiction. Moving Company Guys USDOT #3918729 is publicly verifiable at fmcsa.dot.gov at any time.
Fully Licensed — Interstate & Intrastate
Two separate licenses govern two separate jurisdictions. Moving Company Guys holds both — and both are publicly verifiable before you book.
