How do I check that a Montana 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 Montana?

Yes: 16 of the 265 registered household goods companies in Montana 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 missing5 of 2651.9%
