Is John Sherman Moving Company Inc licensed?
John Sherman Moving Company Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 719705) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Indiana, 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 29 years of registration (since 1997): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against John Sherman Moving Company Inc, and not a mark for it.
