About U.S. Moving Protection

Our Story

U.S. Moving Protection started with a simple belief: moving should be safe and simple. Consumers should not be charged with hidden fees and surprises during the move process. What began as a mission to help people avoid moving scams has grown into a nonprofit resource focused on making interstate moving safer, simpler, and stress free.

We’re not a moving company. We’re not a broker. We’re your resource to move safely.

About the Organization

An independent nonprofit standing between consumers and a $4bn industry

Independent audits

Carriers are checked against licensing, insurance, background-checked crews, owned equipment, reviews, estimate accuracy, transparent pricing and complaint history.

Published pricing data

Benchmarks come from tariff filings and documented estimates, published as ranges with their sources named.

Complaint investigation

First-party complaints are investigated and reflected in the public carrier record.

Know Your Rights and Responsibilities

Before moving your household goods interstate, movers are required to give you the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet and FMCSA’s Ready to Move brochure to help you understand the documents that a mover will ask you to sign, and explains your rights if your household goods are lost or damaged during a long distance move.
