Is AAction Movers licensed for interstate moves?
Yes, on two levels. AAction Movers holds active interstate operating authority (MC228559, status active) on USDOT 212818, declares household goods as cargo, and carries a Satisfactory safety rating from a compliance review the FMCSA completed in 2003.
Because AAction Movers is an agent of United Van Lines, an interstate household move booked through it normally runs under the van line's authority (USDOT 77949), and that is the number you should expect on the bill of lading beside AAction Movers's name. Check both records: the agent's for who is handling your goods, the van line's for whose insurance, tariff and claims department stand behind the move.

What a move with AAction Movers should cost

Before you book AAction Movers: six questions
Ask these on the first call. The answers matter more than the ranking, and an established carrier answers all six without hesitation.
- Will this move run under United Van Lines's authority or your own, and which USDOT number goes on my bill of lading?
- Will your own crew load and drive, or will the shipment be handed to another United Van Lines agent at the far end?
- Is the estimate binding, non-binding or binding not-to-exceed, and was it based on a video or in-home survey?
- What is the delivery window in writing, and what do you pay if you miss it?
- What does full-value protection cost on my shipment, and what is the deductible?
- If something goes wrong, do I deal with you or with the van line's claims department?
Then run the six checks in how to check a moving company, and read the nine red flags so you recognise the ones that do not apply here.
