Get Your Household Goods Moving License
If you want to open your own moving company and you want to transport household goods between two or more states, you will need to obtain a license by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). This firm assists you in obtaining your household goods interstate DOT license for $650 if you submit your details and pay online, or $750 if you need assistance over the phone. This covers the application fee that the USDOT charges, the fee for your BOC-3, and our fee. Whether you pay online or require telephone assistance, in most cases, your DOT number will be provided to you within one (1) business day.
Before you begin operating your interstate moving business, you must obtain operating authority from the USDOT, get your USDOT and MC number, file your BOC-3, and obtain and file adequate insurance. This firm handles everything except for the insurance. Upon request, the firm can assist you with contacting insurance companies.

In addition to your USDOT number, MC number, and BOC-3 filing (all of which this firm will do for you), you will also need to obtain adequate levels of insurance. This firm can assist and guide you through the process, and can complete and submit most of the documentation for you.
The automated process is for prospective interstate moving companies only. If you want to start a broker business, contact the firm for details.
We are able to assist both carriers (the moving company that transports the goods) and brokers (the company that arranges for the transportation of goods).
Contact us today for more information.
(Note: If you want to transport goods within a single state, you might need a license from a state agency. This firm assists companies and individuals with their interstate operating authority only.)
