What the registration shows
East Coast Van Lines holds active interstate operating authority (MC-551161) according to the FMCSA census data, so it is authorized to carry household goods across state lines. Interstate movers must follow federal consumer-protection rules: written estimates, the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet, and an arbitration program for disputes.
With 8 trucks, East Coast Van Lines runs a larger fleet than about 91% of the 324 registered movers in our Newark directory (median: 2).
It has been on the USDOT register for about 20 years (first added 2006), compared with a median of 6 years for Newark movers.
FMCSA has given East Coast Van Lines a Conditional safety rating (2015). Most carriers have never had a compliance review and are unrated.
