What the registration shows
First Rate Movers holds active interstate operating authority (MC-1574050) 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 5 trucks, First Rate Movers runs a larger fleet than about 83% of the 24 registered movers in our Delaware directory (median: 1).
It has been on the USDOT register for about 3 years (first added 2022), compared with a median of 7 years for Delaware movers.
