How Washington compares on safety oversight

37% of Washington-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 Washington

How many licensed long distance movers are based in Washington?
436 active interstate household goods carriers list a Washington address on their federal filing, operating 5,260 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 Washington movers have safety records?
Mostly thin ones. 37% of Washington-based carriers have never had a roadside inspection, and 87% hold no federal safety rating. 51 have a reportable crash on record and 3 have been involved in a fatal one. Nationally, 48.0% of licensed movers have never been inspected, so Washington is below the national average.
Where do people leaving Washington move to?
The table on this page ranks destination states by the number of households that filed taxes from Washington one year and from another state the next. In the most recent year published, more households moved into Washington than left — a net balance of 9,839 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.
