Is James & John Moving licensed?
James & John Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2634986) 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 11 years of registration (since 2015): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against James & John Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 4 trucks and 3 drivers, and the registration dates from 2015.
