Common questions about Salt Lake City movers
How do I check a mover in Salt Lake City, UT?
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 382 moving companies registered in Salt Lake City. The search is free and needs no account.
Are there broker offices among Salt Lake City moving companies?
3 of the 382 companies registered in Salt Lake City hold broker authority only, which means they resell your move to a carrier you never chose. Each one is flagged in the first line of its report.
What should I look at before booking a Salt Lake City mover?
Three rows on the report: carrier or broker, fleet size against what the salesperson promised, and the Hostage Goods complaint row. A company with no trucks, broker-only authority or a hostage-load complaint deserves a hard pass, whatever its star ratings say.
