Is Hilford Moving & Storage Inc licensed?
Hilford Moving & Storage Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1650994) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within California, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 19 years of registration (since 2007): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Hilford Moving & Storage Inc, and not a mark for it.
