Is City Transfer Inc licensed?
City Transfer Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 11991) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Washington, 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 52 years of registration (since 1974): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against City Transfer Inc, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 20 trucks and 20 drivers, and the registration dates from 1974.
