How Rhode Island compares on safety oversight

57% of Rhode Island-based movers have no roadside inspection on record, against 48.0% nationally. That gap is driven mostly by fleet size and state enforcement capacity rather than by how carefully anyone drives — small carriers are stopped less often simply because they put fewer trucks on the road. A carrier with no inspection record is not a carrier with a bad record. It means nobody has checked. Read the full study →

Questions about moving from Rhode Island

How many licensed long distance movers are based in Rhode Island?
72 active interstate household goods carriers list a Rhode Island address on their federal filing, operating 530 trucks between them. Carriers routinely work far beyond their home state, so this is a measure of where the industry is registered rather than where it operates.
Do Rhode Island movers have safety records?
Mostly thin ones. 57% of Rhode Island-based carriers have never had a roadside inspection, and 86% hold no federal safety rating. 6 have a reportable crash on record and 1 have been involved in a fatal one. Nationally, 48.0% of licensed movers have never been inspected, so Rhode Island is above the national average.
Where do people leaving Rhode Island move to?
The table on this page ranks destination states by the number of households that filed taxes from Rhode Island one year and from another state the next. In the most recent year published, more households left Rhode Island than moved in — a net balance of 129 filers.
How do I check a mover myself?
Take the USDOT number from any carrier listed on this site and enter it at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. That gives you the federal record directly: operating authority, insurance, inspection history and crash reports. If a moving company will not give you its USDOT number, that is the answer.

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 site. 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.
