Is Browning Moving & Storage licensed?
Browning Moving & Storage is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 882348) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Florida, 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 26 years of registration (since 2000): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Browning Moving & Storage, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 6 trucks and 7 drivers, and the registration dates from 2000.
