About USMPO
A free, non-profit resource for a safer move
USMPO is a free, non-profit resource designed to help people have a safer move. Avoid inaccurate quotes and get real pricing online, without having to speak to multiple movers. We help you find the best rate, and you book with your mover directly.
How?
Our job is to fill the gaps in the moving industry. When a moving truck with open space is already headed your way, we find it, and that usually means a better rate and experience than any other moving company.
The most common complaints, in FMCSA's own words: shipments held hostage for additional payment, deliberately low-balled estimates inflated after loading, deceptive overcharges, loss and damage, and unauthorized movers using fake names.
The pattern looks the same almost every time. You search “moving company [route].” You land on a site that promises “free quotes from multiple movers.” You enter your contact details. Within minutes, your phone starts ringing — sometimes from 10 or more different companies, often for weeks.
That site you submitted to wasn't a moving company. It was a lead-generation site. Its business model is to collect your information and sell it — sometimes to one mover, more often to many. The moving industry calls these “shared leads,” and they're cheaper for the buyer the more times they get sold. The carriers calling you may or may not be the ones who actually service your route. Some may not be licensed at all.
This is the funnel that feeds the fraud numbers above. Bait-and-switch quotes, hostage loads, fake brokers using legitimate carriers' names — most of these scams reach consumers through some form of lead-gen intermediary.

The U.S. Moving Protection Organization is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preventing moving fraud by helping consumers find legitimate, audited carriers. USMPO is not affiliated with the FMCSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, or any government agency.
We are funded by carriers and by charitable contributions. Consumers pay nothing at any stage, and we do not sell consumer information.
Is USMPO a government agency?
No. We are a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We are not affiliated with the FMCSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, or any government body. If you have a complaint about a mover and need official enforcement, file with the FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database at fmcsa.dot.gov.
Why is this free for consumers?
USMPO is funded by carriers and by charitable contributions, not by consumers. You pay nothing at any stage, and we do not sell your information.
Are carriers paying USMPO to get my information?
USMPO is funded by carriers, not by you, which is what keeps the loadboard free. What we do not do is sell your details to third-party lead generators: your information goes only to audited carriers servicing your route, and it is never resold.
What if a carrier you verified treats me badly?
Report it to us at usmpo.org/complaints. Complaints are reviewed and factored into the carrier's verification status. Repeated or serious violations result in loss of verification and removal from the loadboard. We also recommend filing with FMCSA's NCCDB for any interstate move issue — federal enforcement has real teeth.
Do you guarantee a good move?
No, and any organization that claims to is overstating what's possible. We can tell you a carrier is licensed, insured, and has a clean record at the time of audit. We can't guarantee how any specific move will go. What we can do is make the carrier accountable to their verification — which gives them a meaningful reason to perform well.
Why should I trust your audit?
Read it for yourself. Our full audit methodology is published at usmpo.org/methodology, and every audited carrier's profile in our public directory shows the date of their last audit and the data underlying it. If our audit isn't rigorous, the credential is worthless to carriers — so the rigor is in our interest too.
