Is Morse Moving & Storage Inc licensed?
Morse Moving & Storage Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 274486) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Michigan, 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 40 years of registration (since 1986): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Morse Moving & Storage Inc, and not a mark for it.
