Customers who did their homework — here's what some of them had to say about choosing a fully licensed mover.
After a friend's horror story with an unlicensed mover holding her stuff hostage, I looked up every company's USDOT number before calling anyone. Otter's checked out on the FMCSA site in thirty seconds — active, insured, clean record. They didn't flinch when I asked about it either; the rep walked me through their credentials before I even finished the question. That's what confidence looks like.
My building requires a Certificate of Insurance before any mover can touch the freight elevator, and the last company I tried couldn't produce one — which told me everything. Otter emailed the COI to my management office the same afternoon I booked. Fully insured, properly licensed, zero friction. The move itself was equally professional.
Moving my late mother's furniture — irreplaceable pieces — I wasn't taking chances with some guys from a marketplace ad. Otter's licensing meant real insurance behind every item on that truck, and their crew handled everything like they knew what was riding on it. Nothing was damaged, but knowing we were covered if it had been let me actually breathe during the move.
