Question by heavin2 (Jeanette Massucco)

Flat Rate movers: I found nothing but good things hope you do too. US DOT 1475638, ICC- MC 557005, MR. 512 - IM 1320
They seem to have locations all over. They won the Forbes business award for 2007. I give up that is why thinking of this co. Lee Long Distance Movers - 3 days waiting never got back to me.
Thank you.

Flat Rate Movers (Florida branch), USDOT#1475638

Safety Of Use Rating: AA
(100%, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - see how we calculate SOUR)


Flat Rate in Miami is the Florida branch of Flat Rate in New York. There are also branches in New Jersey, California and Washington DC.

Since this branch has its own USDOT we will rate it as a separate company, keeping in mind, however, that it is part of Flat Rate nationwide network.

From their website www.flatrate.com/FL:

  • This company is independent (not an agent for any major van lines).
  • Licensing information: US DOT #1475638, MC #557005, IM 1320
  • Contact Information:
    phones:
    888-600-FLAT
    305-622-5262
    address:
    1161 NW 159th Dr. Miami,FL 33169
  • Members of: AMSA, BBB, Chamber Of Commerce Association

From Safersys.org:

Safersys.org reveals the following information:
  • Licensing info: US DOT #1475638, MC #557005
  • Trucks: 2.
  • Phones: (305) 622-5262
  • Office location: 1161 NW 159th Dr. Miami,FL 33169
  • 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: above the national average
    - Vehicle out-of-service rating: below the national average
From Better Business Bureau:


  • Members of the BBB
  • Original Business Start Date: 3/8/2006 (local branch launched a year ago, but this company is in business since 1991)
  • Number of complaints processed in the last 36 months: none.
    From other sources:

    Summary:

    I would highly recommend using the Miami branch of Flat Rate Moving, although it has only operated for a year (in fact, today they should be celebrating one year from the day they got their lisence approved, happy B-day!). That is the reason why we cannot give them a OUTSTANDING PERFORMER rating (less then 3 years in business). Also, their pricing method is very customer-friendly, and their mother-company has lots of good PR and a good name in the industry.





    Good luck with your move,
