Is NJ Local Moving licensed?
NJ Local Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2871486) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within New Jersey, 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 10 years of registration (since 2016): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against NJ Local Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 2 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2016.
