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 Springfield
- Moving to another state? Use the Interstate filter above and check the company's FMCSA record.
- Moving within Missouri? 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 Springfield mover
Rules for moves that stay within Missouri vary. Some states license or register household-goods movers through their transportation department or public utilities commission, while others don't. Ask the mover for any Missouri license or registration number and check it with the issuing agency, or ask the Missouri attorney general's consumer protection office. For moves to or from another state, the mover must be registered with FMCSA and hold interstate household-goods authority.
For a move to another state, check the USDOT number on FMCSA. Step-by-step guide.
