Trust & verification
Five things we promise.
Every operating principle MovingCost runs on, written so you can hold us to them.
- 01
Every mover is FMCSA-verified
We pull the FMCSA SAFER database every week and remove movers who lose authority, get cited for serious violations, or miss a renewal. Verification is the floor, not the ceiling — operating authority is necessary but not sufficient to be in our network.
- 02
One vetted mover per request
When you ask for a binding quote, we connect you with exactly one partner mover suited to your route. Not three. Not six. We don't run a bidding war on your phone.
- 03
Your phone number doesn't get resold
Phone numbers go to your mover and to our internal record-keeping. They are not sold to data brokers, lead aggregators, or anyone else. This is a contract with you, not just a privacy policy line.
- 04
The calculator never gates results
You can use the calculator without an account, without an email, without a phone number. The number is the product. Lead capture is opt-in afterward.
- 05
Methodology is public
Our calculator's formula, weight tables, and seasonality multipliers are published in plain English. If you don't agree with our math, you can challenge ours and any mover's against the same baseline.
