How many licensed interstate movers are based in Maine?

How do I check that a Maine 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 Maine?

Yes: 13 of the 222 registered household goods companies in Maine 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.

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 missing7 of 2223.2%

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.
