The mover does for household-goods moving services in Maryland using a commercial motor vehicle. Since March 1, Maryland law requires registration with the Department of Labor under Business Regulation Title 8.5 / COMAR 09.30.01. Ask to see the unique Reg. # on the Labor public query and match the legal name on SAFER. A PSC motor-carrier certificate is not the Labor HHG registration. USDOT alone is not enough. For interstate jobs, also require FMCSA SAFER ACTIVE with Motor Carrier of Household Goods authority.
