For movers

Exclusive moving leads. One matched mover per request.

Apply to join the MovingCost partner network. Every lead has already seen a real cost estimate and opted in to be contacted by a single FMCSA-licensed carrier — not a wall of cold-callers, and never an auction.

Why partner with us

Leads worth working — not a wall of competing calls

We built the consumer side around transparent pricing and a single trusted match. That same model is what makes our leads worth your time on the carrier side.

Exclusive, not auctioned

Each lead is routed to exactly one carrier suited to the route — never six. There's no bidding war on the consumer's phone and no race to the bottom on price. You compete on service, not response time.

Real-intent customers

Every consumer has already used our calculator and seen a real cost estimate before they reach the lead form. They know roughly what their move should cost and they're shopping for a binding number, not just kicking tires.

Transparent, never resold

We don't resell a lead to a half-dozen movers after it's been matched. The consumer opted in to be contacted by a single FMCSA-licensed carrier, and that carrier is you.

You keep your brand

Leads arrive with the consumer's contact details, their route, and the estimate they saw. You take the conversation from there under your own name — we're the matchmaker, not the middleman on every call.

How it works

From application to matched leads

We verify your federal operating authority before a single lead is routed to your company — so the network stays one consumers can trust.

Step 1

Apply

Submit the form below — company name, USDOT, MC, primary contact, capacity, and coverage area. It takes about five minutes.

Step 2

We verify your authority

We look up your USDOT in the FMCSA SAFER database to confirm active operating authority and review your operating history before any lead is routed.

Step 3

Receive matched leads

Once verified, leads matching your coverage and declared capacity start arriving with the consumer's contact info, route, and estimate.

Requirements

What it takes to join

We route consumers to federally-licensed carriers in good standing. Here's what we verify before onboarding.

Active USDOT / MC authority

You hold a current USDOT number — and an MC number for interstate moves — with operating authority that's active in the FMCSA SAFER database, not inactive or out-of-service.

Required insurance on file

You carry the cargo and liability coverage your operating authority requires. Interstate carriers must maintain the insurance the FMCSA mandates for their authority type.

Good FMCSA standing

Your authority is in good standing — no out-of-service order — when we verify it. If your authority lapses while you're in the network, we pause routing until it's restored.

Application

Apply to join the network

About five minutes. We verify your USDOT against FMCSA SAFER and respond with next steps. No leads are routed until verification is complete.



We verify USDOT status against FMCSA SAFER before any lead routing begins. If your authority is currently inactive or out-of-service, we won't be able to onboard until that's resolved.

FAQ

Common questions from carriers

How are leads priced?
Pricing depends on coverage tier and route. We share specific terms during onboarding, after we've verified your authority. There's no upfront fee to apply or to be in the network.
Can we accept or reject individual leads?
Yes. You're not obligated to follow up on every lead — some won't be a fit (wrong route, wrong size, wrong timing). We track acceptance rate to keep routing efficient for both sides.
What's the volume?
Lead volume scales with your declared monthly capacity, your coverage area, and overall demand on the routes you serve. We don't oversubscribe carriers — capacity is a real signal we route on.
What happens if our USDOT goes inactive?
We re-check authority status against FMCSA SAFER. If your operating authority lapses, we pause lead routing and reach out so you can update or restore it. You're not penalized for routine renewals or paperwork lags.
Can we be the only mover for our route?
We route one mover per individual lead — that's a hard rule for consumer trust. Multiple carriers can serve overlapping routes; we balance routing across the network based on capacity and acceptance rate.
What states do you operate in?
All 50 US states. Carriers can declare any subset of states and metros they cover; routing respects your declared coverage.
