Moving companies running the NJ-to-Pennsylvania route include licensed carriers, brokers, and unlicensed operators. However, even the move from NJ to Philadelphia is an interstate move, so it requires a USDOT-licensed carrier. Always verify USDOT numbers through the FMCSA website.
Providing full valuation coverage is also a must, as it protects the actual replacement value of your items. Basic liability coverage pays very little when things go wrong.
Red flags to keep in mind include quotes 30-40% below others, no physical address, large cash deposits before pickup, and no written binding estimate.
Vector Moving is a direct carrier, not a broker. The same crew that loads in New Jersey also delivers in North Carolina.
