Frequently asked questions

On this platform St. Louis (645), Kansas City (505), St. Charles (327), Independence (214), Lee's Summit (213) lead the state by number of FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers.

Do I need a licensed mover for a move within Missouri?

Moves that stay inside Missouri are regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Most states require intrastate movers to hold a state permit or registration in addition to a USDOT number; the company cards on each city page show the USDOT number so you can verify it.
