How many licensed interstate movers are based in Florida?

5,154 companies based in Florida hold federal interstate household goods authority as of 2026-08-12, per the FMCSA register. 5,152 hold carrier authority and 210 hold broker authority; some companies hold both.

How do I check that a Florida moving company is legitimate?

Ask for their USDOT number and look up the record before paying anything. Confirm the company name matches your quote, the operating status is active, and whether the record says carrier or broker. A mover who will not give you a DOT number is not one to hire.

Are there moving brokers in Florida?

Yes: 210 of the 5,154 registered household goods companies in Florida hold broker authority. A broker arranges your move and sells the job to a carrier. That is legal, but you should know which one you are booking before you pay a deposit.

What the federal register shows for Florida

2are broker-only: they hold no carrier authority and own no trucks for your job

Also hold broker authority210 of 5,1544.1%

A broker arranges the move and hands it to a carrier you have not met. Holding both is legal and common: ask which one your job is booked under, and get the answer in writing.

Required insurance or bond filing missing83 of 5,1541.6%

The register lists a filing as required and shows none on file. That is the single strongest signal on this page. Companies with no authority record at all are not counted here, because absent data is not the same as a missing filing.
