How our verified mover network works
When you request a binding quote, we route your move details to one FMCSA-licensed carrier handling your specific route. The vetting happens before the handoff — by the time a mover contacts you, they've already cleared our verification process.
01
FMCSA-licensed only
Every mover we route a lead to holds active USDOT and Motor Carrier authority. We verify against the FMCSA SAFER database before forwarding any quote request.
02
One mover per request
When you ask for a binding quote, we hand-pick a single carrier suited to your route — never a multi-mover bidding war on your phone number.
03
Phone numbers stay private
Your contact info goes to one mover and to our internal record-keeping only. We don't sell or syndicate phone numbers to data brokers or lead aggregators.
