Every Licensed InterstateMoving Company in the US

5,208 on this directory as of 2026-09-24: carriers on the FMCSA register that are active, hold interstate operating authority, declare household goods as cargo, and whose name says they move households. The register itself lists 6,015 companies that match the name test; 808 are left out because their authority is inactive, they are based outside the US, they carry a Conditional or Unsatisfactory safety rating, or their filing shows no trucks and no drivers.

Four usual reasons. It operates within one state only, so it has no interstate authority and belongs on the state pages instead. It is a broker rather than a carrier, and brokers own no trucks and are registered separately. Its name does not contain moving, movers, van lines or relocation, which is the test we use to keep furniture stores and freight lines out. Or its authority has lapsed. Search the FMCSA's SAFER system by name to see which applies.

Power units and drivers are what each carrier reported on its own MCS-150 filing, which must be updated at least every two years. They measure capacity, not quality: the median carrier here files 2 trucks, 612 file ten or more, and a two-truck family firm can do a better job than a fleet of two hundred. The numbers do tell you whether the company can move you with its own equipment or will hand your goods to someone else.

It means the FMCSA has not completed a compliance review of the carrier, which is the position of most of the register; 627 of the 5,208 here (12 percent) hold a Satisfactory rating from a completed review. The ratings to avoid are Conditional and Unsatisfactory, and carriers holding either are excluded from this directory. Read any rating alongside the inspection and crash figures on the carrier's SAFER snapshot.

From each company's own website, after we confirmed the site belongs to the registration by finding its USDOT number, MC number or filed phone number on it. 1,216 carriers have one on file; the rest show their initials. Logos remain the trademarks of their owners and are shown only to identify the carrier.

None of these companies publishes a rate card. From our published model, full-service movers should quote about $5,175 – $6,900 for a three-bedroom home over 1,000 miles, transport only. Get a surveyed, binding not-to-exceed estimate from three carriers and compare them against that range rather than against each other.
