How many licensed interstate movers are based in Missouri?

1,561 companies based in Missouri hold federal interstate household goods authority as of 2026-08-11, per the FMCSA register. 1,561 hold carrier authority and 78 hold broker authority; some companies hold both.

How do I check that a Missouri 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 Missouri?

Yes: 78 of the 1,561 registered household goods companies in Missouri 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.

Required insurance or bond filing missing20 of 1,5611.3%

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.
