How companies are listed
Listings come from the FMCSA Company Census File, the federal register of companies with a USDOT number (data as of 2026-11-15). We include active registrations that list household goods as cargo, have a moving-related business name, a registration updated within three years, and at least one truck. Order is by fleet size by default. We don't accept payment for placement on this list. If we ever show sponsored companies, they will be clearly labelled. A listing is not an endorsement, and the register doesn't include customer reviews or prices. Report an error or request a correction.
How to choose a moving company in Melbourne
- Moving to another state? Use the Interstate filter above and check the company's FMCSA record.
- Moving within Florida? Check the state license too. See below.
- Get at least three written estimates after a video or in-home survey.
- Compare valuation coverage, the type of estimate and the delivery window, not just the price.
- Avoid companies that ask for a large deposit or quote without seeing your belongings. Scam red flags.
Licensing: checking a Melbourne mover
Florida requires movers and moving brokers that handle moves within the state to register with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) under Chapter 507 of the Florida Statutes. Check a mover's registration through FDACS before you book.
For a move to another state, check the USDOT number on FMCSA. Step-by-step guide.
