Movers in Pennsylvania

MoverAudit  ›  States  ›  Pennsylvania

8,004 moving companies are federally registered in Pennsylvania, from national van lines to one-truck local crews, with the largest cluster in Philadelphia (1102 companies). Every one of them has a public federal record: registration, fleet size, and four years of consumer complaints. This page lists them all; click any company to open its full MoverAudit report.

Before you shortlist anyone in Pennsylvania, know the local landscape: 13 of these companies are registered as brokers only, meaning they resell your move to a carrier you never chose, and 1,127 have zero trucks on file with FMCSA. At the other end, the largest registered fleet in the state belongs to Mendez Cargo Inc with 156,000 power units. Fleet size does not equal honesty, but a company promising statewide next-day service with one truck deserves a hard look at its report.

How to hire a mover in Pennsylvania

Start with the record, not the reviews. Star ratings can be bought and buried; the federal complaint database cannot. Open the MoverAudit report for every company on your shortlist and check three things: is it a carrier or a broker, does the fleet size match its promises, and what do the complaint categories say about how it fails. A "Loss and Damage" complaint at a large van line is ordinary friction; a "Hostage Goods" complaint anywhere is a walk-away signal.

For interstate moves (leaving Pennsylvania), the company must hold federal household goods authority and print its USDOT number on the quote. Verify that the number on the paperwork matches the company name here: a borrowed or mismatched USDOT number is one of the oldest tricks in moving fraud.

For moves within Pennsylvania, state rules apply on top of federal registration, and complaints also go to the state's consumer protection office. The habits stay the same: written binding estimate after a real survey, small traceable deposit, and the truck does not get loaded until the paperwork matches the company you actually vetted.

Common questions about Pennsylvania movers

How do I check a moving company in Pennsylvania?
Search its name or USDOT number on MoverAudit. The report card shows the license, carrier or broker status, fleet size and four years of federal complaint history for any of the 8,004 movers registered in Pennsylvania. The search is free and needs no account.
How many movers in Pennsylvania are brokers instead of carriers?
13 of the 8,004 companies registered in Pennsylvania hold broker authority only, which means they resell your move to a carrier you never chose. Another 1,127 list zero trucks with FMCSA. Both facts appear in the first line of each report.
Who handles complaints against movers in Pennsylvania?
For interstate moves, the FMCSA through the National Consumer Complaint Database; those federal filings are what MoverAudit summarizes. For moves inside Pennsylvania, the state's consumer protection office also takes complaints on top of the federal record.
