Morton J Lemkau Moving and Storage, USDOT #241033
Safety Of Use Rating: AAA
(100.00%, OUTSTANDING PERFORMER - see how we calculate SOUR)
From their website www.lemkaumoving.com:
- This company is an agent for Wheaton Van Lines
- Licensing information: USDOT #70719 (Wheaton's), ICC-MC #87113 (also Wheaton's), ICC-MC #95077 (its their own), and NY DOT #2102
- Services offered: local, long distance, storage, pianos.
- Contact Information: address: 252 Wilson Avenue,Westbury, NY 11590, phone: 516-333-1340
- Members of: Long Island Moving and Storage Association (LIMSA)
- Licensing info: USDOT #241033, MC #95077
- 6 trucks
- Address: 252 Wilson Avenue,Westbury, NY 11590
- Phone: (516) 333-1340
- The information in the Safersys.org report indicates no problems with their license and insurance.
- Inspections section shows good statistics: both vehicle and driver out-of-service rating are lower then the national average. The only red flag that I found is one crash with fatality listed under "Crashes in last 24 month".
- Members of the BBB
- Original Business Start Date: 1/1/1949
- Phone - same as in Safersys.org
- Address - same as in Safersys.org
- This company has a satisfactory record with the BBB
- Number of complaints processed in the last 36 month: none
- New York State Movers & Warehouseman's Association: not listed as a member.
- Long Island Moving & Storage Association (LIMSA): listed as a member, has valid NYS DOT license (for local moves).
- MovingScam.com: the company is mentioned only couple of times, no bad (or good) reviews.
- RipoffReport.com: didn't find any article about this company.
- Other sources: as hard as I tried - found no other negative data on this company anywhere.
Summary:
This company has no reported complaints. The only red flag is the recorded fatal crash, which, as much as it is unfortunate, is not really relevant to their consumer service rating.
Based on this investigation we would highly recommend using this company.
Good luck with your move,

Remember, Morton J Lemkau operate under two USDOT numbers: one is their own (241033) and one that belongs to Weaton Van Lines (70719).
"X" by "Intrastate Only (Non-HM)" means they are authorised to do intrastate moves only (non-hazard materials), but under the authority of Wheaton Van Lines they can of course do interstate movers (that's how agent-van lines relationship works.
In other words, for long distance moves Morton J Lemkau will do the pickup, and Weaton will deliver the shipment to your final destination.
