Every carrier on this page lists the same baseline: USDOT number, MC number, BBB rating, year founded, and headquarters. Those five fields settle whether the company is real and trading. They don't, by themselves, tell you whether the company is good — that's where the editorial summary, complaint history, and price range come in.
The directory currently profiles 182 national, regional, and DIY brands. Nothing here is ranked and no company carries a score: the order on the hub is for browsing only, and the sourced detail lives on each company's own page.
USDOT is the federal carrier ID assigned by the FMCSA. Anyone moving household goods across state lines has to have one. If a website doesn't list it, that's a yellow flag at minimum.
MC number (Motor Carrier authority) is what gives the company permission to move freight for hire across state lines. It's a separate filing from USDOT and shows up on the same SAFER record.
BBB rating runs A+ through F. The letter is the BBB's own scoring of the company, not customer reviews. A company can have an A+ from BBB and still average 2.5 stars from customers — both numbers belong on the page.
National carriers (Allied, United, Mayflower, North American, Atlas) operate as agent networks. The brand handles dispatch, billing, and tracking; the actual crew is a local agent. Quality often tracks more closely with the agent in your specific city than with the brand on the truck.
Regional and local independents own their fleet, hire their own crews, and usually price 15–25% under the national brands on local jobs. Trade-off: limited geography, smaller claims department, and capacity that disappears in peak season.
DIY platforms (PODS, U-Pack, U-Haul U-Box, 1-800-PACK-RAT) are container-and-driver services. You load and unload; they handle the long-haul. For interstate moves under 1,500 miles with a flexible delivery window, this is consistently the cheapest option that's still safe.
Editorially independent, funded by referral fees. We may be paid when you request a quote from a company listed here. Payment does not decide who is listed or the order they appear in, and we publish no score or star rating. Advertising disclosure

American Van Lines states first-party that it staffs moves with W2 employees rather than day labour. It requires a deposit to hold a move date, so ask what portion is refundable and by when before you pay it. We publish no BBB grade and hold no complaint dataset, so nothing here rates the company's service.
Noted for: Specialty items (piano, fine art, antiques).
