What the registration shows
Forward Van Lines holds active interstate operating authority (MC-327506) 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, Forward Van Lines runs a larger fleet than about 91% of the 325 registered movers in our Miami directory (median: 1).
It has been on the USDOT register for about 29 years (first added 1997), compared with a median of 6 years for Miami movers.
