Check each company’s FMCSA profile for past violations and complaints. It’s important to consider the size of the company when evaluating its complaint history. The FMCSA says larger companies tend to complete more moves and are more likely to have more complaints filed against them.Also, check for each company’s total mileage on their FMCSA profile.The more moves a company executes, the higher its total mileage.You can also look up a moving company’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau.
