DOT Number: Make sure the moving company has a DOT number issued by the Department of Transportation. The representative should be able to provide you with that number and in most cases, it is clearly visible on the moving truck. A consumer can find out by going to http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/

Local Regulations: Ask the representative if there are any local regulations the company needs to abide by and if there is an uneasy feeling, check with local regulators to ensure the company is reputable.

Walk Away: If a consumer finds that the company they are dealing with does not have the proper licenses to operate, it is a wise decision to find another moving company. If any of the crew is injured on the property and that company is not legitimate, a consumer could be liable on a number of levels.
