Who We Are...
Expert researchers, data analysts, and editors — working for you
We are a team of researchers, data engineers, and editors who use interviews, proprietary datasets, mystery shopping, licensing verification, and review analysis to rank and verify moving companies.
Our editorial team is not paid by movers. Every data source we use is disclosed. When a carrier appears in our listings it is because we found them in public records — not because they paid for placement.
How We're Changing the Moving Industry...
Three things we do differently — because the old way of picking a mover leaves too much to chance.
Every mover, not just advertisers
We catalog carriers that never pay for placement, so the results you see represent the market — not an ad.
Real cost ranges by home size
Cost estimates are built from thousands of real quotes, broken out by city pair and home size — updated monthly.
How We Rank Movers...
Every moving company we recommend is vetted using verified licensing data, customer feedback, and transparent pricing analysis across 70+ unique data points.
- 1
Verify licensing
Every carrier must hold an active USDOT number and interstate operating authority before appearing in our directory.
- 2
Check safety history
We pull crash, inspection, and insurance data from the FMCSA SAFER system and flag anything concerning.
- 3
Aggregate public reviews
Ratings are pulled from 25+ independent sources. We never invent a star count or accept pay-to-rank placements.
- 4
Cross-reference pricing
Where available, we match reported quotes against typical ranges for the route and home size to surface outliers.
- 5
Sort for transparency
Default sort follows a published, repeatable score. Re-sort any listing by price, rating, or years in operation.
Professional Memberships...
We hold active memberships with leading moving industry and consumer-protection organisations.
