How many licensed interstate movers are based in Pennsylvania?

4,142 companies based in Pennsylvania hold federal interstate household goods authority as of 2026-08-12, per the FMCSA register. 4,141 hold carrier authority and 158 hold broker authority; some companies hold both.

How do I check that a Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania?

Yes: 158 of the 4,142 registered household goods companies in Pennsylvania 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.
