How to read the roadside record

Every truck on a US highway can be pulled in for inspection. If something is wrong enough, the vehicle is placed out of service on the spot and cannot move until it is fixed. The out-of-service rate is the share of a carrier's vehicle inspections that ended that way, and it is the closest thing to an objective measure of how well a mover maintains its fleet. The national average across all trucks runs about 20–22%.

Near Chesapeake: 37 of 117 carriers have any inspection on record, 13 have a reportable crash, and 1 have been involved in a fatal one. Crash counts are not adjusted for fleet size or miles driven — a large carrier will record more crashes than a small one simply by operating more. Read them alongside the truck count.

The name on the truck is often not the name on the licence

8 of the 25 carriers listed above trade under a name different from the legal entity holding their federal operating authority. That legal entity is the one liable for your shipment and the one named on any claim. Both names are shown in the table. Almost no site publishes this, and it is the first thing to check before you sign anything.

Questions about moving from Chesapeake

How many licensed long distance movers serve Chesapeake?
117 active interstate household goods carriers are based within 50 miles of Chesapeake — 87 of them within 25 miles — operating 4,789 trucks between them. 18 are headquartered in Chesapeake itself. Carriers work far beyond their home city, so a mover based elsewhere in the metro can serve you perfectly well.
Are movers in Chesapeake federally safety-rated?
Mostly not. Of the 117 carriers near Chesapeake, only 10 hold a federal safety rating — 91% have none. FMCSA rates a carrier only after a compliance review, and reviews are triggered by complaints, crashes or roadside data. No rating means not examined; it does not mean unsafe.
Why does the company name on the truck differ from the licence?
Because many movers trade under a brand name while their federal authority sits with a different legal entity. The legal entity is the one liable for your shipment, and it is the name on any claim. We show both wherever they differ — the table above marks it.
Where do people moving out of Virginia usually go?
The table on this page lists the six largest destination states by household count, from IRS tax-return migration data. Virginia recorded a net migration balance of 421 filers in the most recent year published.
How many movers near Chesapeake have actually been inspected?
37 of the 117 carriers near Chesapeake have at least one roadside inspection on record — which means 68% have never been pulled in at all. Roadside inspection is separate from a federal safety rating and far more common, so a mover with neither has essentially no public safety history. Every carrier in the table above shows its inspection count, out-of-service rate and crash record.
What should I ask before I book?
Ask for the USDOT number and check it yourself at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. Ask whether they are the carrier or a broker arranging it. Ask whether the estimate is binding, and what happens if the delivery window slips. Get all three answers in writing before you pay a deposit.

What this site is, plainly

VettedMove is a free referral service. We do not own trucks and we do not move anything. When you call, we connect you with a moving company from the licensed carriers listed on this page. We are paid by the moving company when a move goes ahead — you are never charged. The federally required disclosure block under 49 CFR Part 371 sits here pending counsel; this page does not launch without it.
