The Moving Company, USDOT#934058
Safety Of Use Rating: F
(48.77%, STAY AWAY - see how we calculate SOUR)
From their website www.mdmovers.net:
- This company is independent (not an agent for any major van lines).
- Licensing information: not mentioned
- Contact Information:
phones:
866-223-3600
address:
8221 Preston Court, Jessup, Maryland 20794
- Members of: BBB
From Safersys.org:
Safersys.org reveals the following information:
- Licensing info: US DOT #934058, MC #402837
- Trucks: 3.
- Phones: (301) 369-9100
- Office location: 8221 Preston Ct., Ste. B, Jessup, MD 20794
- The information in the Safersys.org report indicates no problems with their current licensing 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
- Members of the BBB
- Original Business Start Date: January 2000
- Number of complaints processed in the last 36 months: 15.
This is a very high number compared to the size of their fleet, although in the last year they only had 3 complaints, probably showing some improvement.
- MovingScam.com: MovingScam.com recommends to avoid this company. I haven't found any complaints, but this thread is worth checking: http://www.movingscam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6244
- ConsumerAffairs.com: no mentioning of that company on ConsumerAffairs.com
- RipOffReport.com: there are two complaints on RipOffReport.com:

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/127/RipOff0127539.htm - Complaints.com: no mentioning of that company on Complaints.com
- MoverReviews.com: no mentioning of that company on MoverReviews.com
- Other Sources: ProtectYourMove.gov mentions 2 complaints listed with the National Consumer Complaint Database (NCCDB)
Summary:
According to our formula every second customer has issues with this company. You should consider doing some more research.
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. Also, check this thread to learn How to find a good moving company.
Good luck with your move,
