Use cases
Find moving company owners and removals operators
This page is for people who sell to movers, not for anyone booking a move. Most independent movers are owner run, regional, and marketed through directories and word of mouth rather than anything a database scrapes. Search by fleet, crew, accreditation or region, and Causo reads FMCSA household goods carrier registrations, the SAFER Company Snapshot, the British Association of Removers register, Traffic Commissioner operator licences and FIDI FAIM accreditation company by company, then shows you the evidence behind every match.

Ask anything about a moving or removals company
Every result is a starting point, not an endpoint. Ask a follow-up about any mover on your list in plain English and the agents go back out and read for it, then answer with the sources they used.
How many trucks and drivers do they actually run?
Answer14 power units and 22 drivers on the current carrier snapshot, all filed against a single USDOT number.
SourcesFMCSA Company Snapshot + carrier registration
Are they accredited for international moves, or do they hand those off?
AnswerAccredited. They hold FAIM accreditation and appear in the IAM member directory, and their own site lists sea and air freight crating as in house.
SourcesFIDI FAIM and IAM directories + the company’s own site
Do they pack with their own crews or subcontract it?
AnswerOwn crews. They advertise directly for packers and porters at two depots, and the survey estimator role sits in house.

Why moving companies are missing from B2B databases

Contact databases are assembled from what companies publish about themselves: professional profiles, funding rounds, tech stacks, hiring pages. A moving company is the opposite kind of business. Its work arrives through estate agents, relocation managers, comparison sites and neighbours who used it last spring, its reputation is a postcode wide, and the company behind eight trucks and thirty movers is very often a private limited company with two directors and a quote form. That business model produces almost none of the web signals a profile-derived database collects. There is a second problem underneath it, and it is the one that decides whether a vendor should pick up the phone. Movers are not distinguished by size. They are distinguished by what they are permitted and audited to do. Whether a carrier may legally move household goods across a state line, how many power units and drivers it actually runs, whether its vehicles sit on a goods vehicle operator licence, whether it has been audited against a commercial moving standard, and whether it is accredited to pack a family and ship them to another continent are five different facts about five different registers. None of them is a field in any contact database. All of them are published: by the FMCSA in the SAFER Company Snapshot and the household goods mover search, by the Traffic Commissioners in the operator licence register, by the British Association of Removers in its membership listings, and by FIDI and the IAM in their accredited member directories. That is also the line between this market and the ones next door. A fleet operator is defined by the vehicles on the licence. A third-party logistics operator is defined by the building. A mover is defined by the job, the crew and the accreditation, and plenty of movers run all three.

Frequently asked questions.
Start from the registers rather than a database. In the United States every mover carrying household goods across a state line holds a USDOT and MC number, and the FMCSA publishes power units, drivers, safety rating and operating status for each one in the SAFER Company Snapshot. In the UK the British Association of Removers publishes its membership and the Traffic Commissioners publish the goods vehicle operator licence register. Causo reads those alongside company registries and job boards, so an owner-run mover with a one-page site is as findable as a national brand.
Those databases are assembled largely from professional profiles and web signals that skew heavily toward software and services. A removals firm with eight trucks, thirty movers and two directors usually has no profile to scrape, so it never enters the database and no filter will surface it. The things that qualify a mover are also absent: household goods authority, power unit and driver counts, operator licence status and accreditation are register fields, not database fields.
In the United States, look the carrier up by USDOT or MC number. The FMCSA SAFER Company Snapshot shows the operating status, the safety rating, the number of power units and drivers, and whether the carrier is authorised for hire to move household goods, and the FMCSA also runs a consumer-facing household goods mover search for the same purpose. In the UK, anyone operating vehicles over 3.5 tonnes must appear on the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA operator licence register, which lists the authorised vehicle count and the operating centre.
Yes, in plain English. None of the three is a field in any contact database, so Causo works them out from primary sources: fleet from the FMCSA Company Snapshot and the goods vehicle operator licence register, crew from packer, porter and estimator vacancies alongside the company’s own service pages, and accreditation from British Association of Removers listings and the FIDI FAIM and IAM member directories.
They are identified from different evidence. A fleet operator is defined by its vehicles, so its record lives in the operator licence or carrier registration. A third-party logistics operator is defined by its building, so its record lives in planning files, customs warehouse approvals and satellite imagery. A moving company is defined by the job, the crew and the accreditation: household goods authority, whether packing and crating are done in house, and whether it is audited to BS 8522 or accredited by FIDI FAIM. Many movers are all three at once, which is exactly why filtering on fleet size alone returns the wrong list.
It is read at the moment you search rather than pulled from a stored snapshot, so a carrier registration granted last month, a vehicle added to an operator licence in June or an accreditation renewed in March appears in this month’s results.
Yes. The sources differ by country, so Causo uses the local equivalents. In the UK that is the British Association of Removers register plus the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA operator licence register. In Germany it is the AMÖ Bundesverband Möbelspedition und Logistik and the Handelsregister. In the Netherlands it is the recognised mover scheme run by the Erkende Verhuizers association and the KvK register. Across borders it is FIDI FAIM accreditation and the IAM member directory, which are the qualifications an international move actually turns on.
