A-1 Freeman Moving Group
We do not publish a numeric score for moving companies.
Jim Freeman founded A-1 Freeman Moving Group in Oklahoma City in 1974, and the brand now covers several separately incorporated regional companies operating as North American Van Lines and Allied agents. Its own regulatory disclosure lists multiple USDOT numbers, including the van lines' registrations, which belong to the van lines rather than to A-1 Freeman. The group table on this page names the registrants the federal census returns for the brand.

Which federal record covers A-1 Freeman Moving Group?
No single one does. A-1 Freeman Moving Group operates through separately registered companies, each with its own USDOT number, its own filed fleet and its own safety history. The registrants below are the ones the federal carrier census returns for the name. Ask the branch quoting your move which of these entities will appear on your paperwork, then look that number up yourself before you sign.

The brand is a group of separately registered regional companies. Ask the branch quoting your move which legal entity and USDOT number will appear on the bill of lading, then check that number.
Read by legal-name search on the federal census, cross-checked against the numbers the company's own site publishes in its regulatory disclosure. Seven active registrants carry the A-1 Freeman name; the disclosure also names the van lines' own numbers, which belong to those van lines and not to A-1 Freeman.

Is A-1 Freeman Moving Group the same company as North American Van Lines?
No. A-1 Freeman Moving Group operates as an agent of North American Van Lines, which is a separate company with its own federal registration, USDOT 070851. The USDOT number published on the company's own site is that van-line registration, carried as the interstate agent notice the van line requires. It is not this company's own number. Each operating company in the group holds its own registration; those are listed above.
The distinction matters when you check a mover. A van line's safety history, fleet size and insurance filings describe the van line. They say nothing about the agent that will pack your home, load the truck and hold your contract.

What is A-1 Freeman Moving Group's USDOT number?
USDOT number: Not located. We have not located a federal registration record for A-1 Freeman Moving Group. That is a statement about our search, not about the company: a record may exist under a legal name that differs from the trading name on this page. Anyone can run the same search on the federal register and see what comes back for the name.
Is A-1 Freeman Moving Group licensed to move within Oklahoma?
For a move that stays inside Oklahoma, movers are authorised by Oklahoma Corporation Commission, Transportation Division, part of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, and the authorisation is called Intrastate Household Goods Carriers Certificate. The agency publishes no public lookup and no recorded phone or email for verifying an individual mover. We have not verified A-1 Freeman Moving Group's Oklahoma authorisation, and nothing here says it lacks one. Holding federal interstate authority is a separate thing from holding state authorisation for a move that starts and ends inside one state.
How much can a mover charge above a non-binding estimate?
On an interstate move priced with a non-binding estimate, a mover may require no more than 110% of the estimated charges before it will release your goods at delivery. That cap is set by 49 CFR 375.407, and it applies to the mover you hire regardless of what the final weight turns out to be. Anything owed above that amount is not payable on delivery day: the mover must bill you for it, and you have 30 days from delivery to pay it under 49 CFR 375.407.

What is a mover liable for if my belongings are damaged?
Every interstate mover must offer released value, the no-extra-charge level of liability set by 49 CFR 375.701. Under released value the mover owes 60 cents per pound per article, so a claim is settled on what a damaged item weighs rather than on what it is worth. A heavy item pays out more than a light expensive one. The alternative is full value protection, which a mover must also offer, costs extra, and settles at repair, replacement, or a cash equivalent. Released value applies by default if you sign nothing else.
