What the registration shows
Short Moving holds active interstate operating authority (MC-1742473) 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 2 trucks, Short Moving is one of the smaller registered movers in the Newark area (the median is 2). Smaller companies can offer more personal service; ask about availability in peak season.
It has been on the USDOT register for about 22 years (first added 2004), compared with a median of 6 years for Newark movers.

- Ask for a written estimate after a video or in-home survey, and ask whether it is binding.

- Avoid paying a large deposit up front. See moving scam red flags.
