Long Distance Movers in Gaithersburg, MD

Q: How many licensed long distance movers serve Gaithersburg?

830 active interstate household goods carriers are based within 50 miles of Gaithersburg — 369 of them within 25 miles — operating 4,040 trucks between them. 32 are headquartered in Gaithersburg itself. Carriers work far beyond their home city, so a mover based elsewhere in the metro can serve you perfectly well.

Q: How many movers near Gaithersburg have actually been inspected?

445 of the 830 carriers near Gaithersburg have at least one roadside inspection on record — which means 46% 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.

Every licensed carrier near Gaithersburg, largest fleet first

Ranked by number of trucks, because capacity is what decides whether your dates hold. Distance is from the Gaithersburg centre to the address on the carrier's federal filing — it is where the business is registered, not the limit of where it works.

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 Gaithersburg: 445 of 830 carriers have any inspection on record, 82 have a reportable crash, and 3 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

11 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 Gaithersburg

How many licensed long distance movers serve Gaithersburg?

830 active interstate household goods carriers are based within 50 miles of Gaithersburg — 369 of them within 25 miles — operating 4,040 trucks between them. 32 are headquartered in Gaithersburg itself. Carriers work far beyond their home city, so a mover based elsewhere in the metro can serve you perfectly well.

Are movers in Gaithersburg federally safety-rated?

Mostly not. Of the 830 carriers near Gaithersburg, only 61 hold a federal safety rating — 93% 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 Maryland usually go?

The table on this page lists the six largest destination states by household count, from IRS tax-return migration data. Maryland recorded a net migration balance of -13,628 filers in the most recent year published.

How many movers near Gaithersburg have actually been inspected?

445 of the 830 carriers near Gaithersburg have at least one roadside inspection on record — which means 46% 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.
