Mover Rating System
Also known as: Carrier rating, Move quality score
Definition
A mover rating system is the various consumer-rating and review platforms used to evaluate moving company quality — Google Reviews, BBB rating, FMCSA safety rating, Yelp, industry-specific ratings.
In practice
What it means on a move.
Google Reviews: most current customer reviews. 4.5+ stars with detailed narratives is the gold standard. BBB rating: A+ to F. FMCSA safety rating (interstate): Active, Satisfactory, Conditional, Unsatisfactory. Yelp: regional preference. Industry-specific: less reliable; some are pay-for-rating platforms.
Stakes
Why this matters.
Quality ratings filter out rogue carriers. A 5-star rated mover with 4 reviews vs a 4.8-star rated mover with 800 reviews — the second is much more reliable. Weight Google Reviews highly.
