Movers vs. Brokers: How to Tell the Difference
When planning a move, you’ll likely encounter both moving companies and moving brokers during your research. Each may be a valid and legitimate option. However, to know which one is best for your specific situation, it’s important to understand the difference.
Moving Companies
Moving companies directly manage the relocation of your belongings; they own trucks and employ professional movers. Moving companies must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
Moving Brokers
On the other hand, moving brokers act as intermediaries, connecting customers with suitable moving companies; they do not handle the moves themselves. While brokers also need FMCSA registration, they don’t typically own trucks or employ movers.
