US Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
The DOT and FMCSA set safety regulations for moving companies to ensure that the vehicles they use for commerce are roadworthy and safe
In 2000 the US DOT created the FMCSA to make sure that all motor carriers are following a set of safety rules to ensure the safety of other commercial and non-commercial drivers that share the road. This US DOT agency oversees the various state-operated weigh stations that you may have seen commercial trucks stopping at on the side of the highway. These checkpoints are meant to ensure the safety of the equipment driving down the road and to ensure that the driver is safe to drive. Read the FMCSA Mission Statement here.
Action Moving Services operates under the DOT authority of Allied Van Lines when moving household goods between states. Allied Van Lines sets vehicle safety standards in excess of what is required by the FMCSA. Action Moving Services meets or exceeds all of these standards as measured twice each year (and, of course, if the vehicle is pulled for inspection while travelling through a checkpoint scale). If you move your furniture with Action Moving and Allied Van Lines, you can be sure that your goods will travel safely on the highways. For a detailed report of Allied's track record with the DOT, please visit the Safer website. This site keeps track of an organizations safety record and Allied Van Lines consistently performs well due to the strict guidelines that are placed on the Allied Agents.
