America's Top Movers, USDOT#1582054

Safety Of Use Rating: D
(60.82%, NOT RECOMMENDED - see how we calculate SOUR)



From their website americastopmovers.com:

  • This company is independent (not an agent for any major van lines).
  • Licensing information: US DOT #1582054, MC #585802
  • Contact Information:
    phones:
    800-810-6139
    address:
    not specified

  • Members of: not specified.
From their site: "America's Top Movers has been the leading moving company serving the State of Florida for the past decade. With locations in New York, Florida and California we have earned a solid reputation for quality moving services."

Other sources (safersys.org) indicate that this company was licenced only in January 2007, meaning it is only few month old. Also, we only located one location (Hollywood, FL), no other locations (NY or CA) were found. This is red flag.

From Safersys.org:

Safersys.org reveals the following information:
  • Licensing info: US DOT #1582054, MC #585802
  • Trucks: 1.
  • Phones: (954) 986-0123
  • Office location: 4842 Sheridan St, Hollywood, FL 33021
  • The information in the Safersys.org report indicates no problems with their license and insurance.
  • Inspections section shows the following statistics:
    - Driver out-of-service rating: below the national average
    - Vehicle out-of-service rating: below the national average
From Better Business Bureau:


  • Not members of the BBB
  • Original Business Start Date: January 2007
  • Number of complaints processed in the last 36 months: 3. Complaints issues: Refund or Exchange (1), Delivery Issues (2). The complaints were mostly resolved.
    From other sources:

    • MovingScam.com: This company is mentioned once: back then it was probably operating without license.
    • ConsumerAffairs.com: no mentioning of that company on ConsumerAffairs.com
    • RipOffReport.com: no mentioning of that company on RipOffReport.com
    • Complaints.com: no mentioning of that company on Complaints.com
    • Epinions.com: no mentioning of that company on Epinions.com
    • Other Sources: no other mentioning of that company found elsewhere.

    Summary:

    I do not recommend using this company. It is very young (just few months in business, at least legally) and already had 3 complaints in the BBB. If they keep working this way they will very soon drop to AVOID.

    I would recommend you to do some more shopping around to see what other companies have to offer. You can get few quotes from several long distance movers right here. In any case, never book with a company that did not perform a visual estimate in your house and did not give you a flat price for your move.

    Good luck with your move,
