How do I check that a North Carolina 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.

Yes: 102 of the 2,938 registered household goods companies in North Carolina 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.
