Your Safety is Our Legal Priority
When you hire a Massachusetts Moving Company, you aren’t just paying for labor; you are paying for the security of your lifeâs possessions. At Bees Moving ST, we believe in total transparency. Being a “insured” mover means we have met rigorous state and federal standards for safety, financial stability, and operational integrity.
Moving can be unpredictable, but your choice of movers shouldn’t be. On this page, you will find all the credentials that qualify us to handle your home, office, and family treasures.
1. State and Federal Licensing
To legally operate as a mover in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and across state lines, a company must maintain active filings with several government agencies.
Federal DOT & MC Licensing
For long-distance relocations that cross state lines, Bees Moving ST maintains active authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
U.S. DOT Number: 6322187
MC Number: 91128954
Having these numbers means we are authorized to provide Moving Services nationwide, following strict federal safety protocols.
2. Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
Insurance is the safety net that protects your move. We carry a comprehensive portfolio of insurance policies to cover every aspect of the relocation process.
General Liability Insurance
This protects your property (both the home you are leaving and the one you are moving into) against accidental damage to structures, such as walls, floors, or entryways.
Cargo Liability Insurance
This is the specific coverage for your belongings while they are in our care, custody, and controlâwhether they are being packed, loaded, or in transit on the highway.
Workersâ Compensation
We protect our “bees.” All of our crew members are covered by Workersâ Comp. This is crucial for you because it ensures that if a mover is injured on your property, the insurance handles the claim, not your homeowner’s insurance.
Pro Tip: Always ask a moving company for their DOT number. You can verify any moverâs safety record and insurance status through the FMCSA SAFER System.
3. Understanding Your Protection Options
Federal law requires all movers to provide two specific types of valuation coverage. Understanding these options can help you choose the level of protection that best fits your needs.
Released Value Protection (Basic)
Coverage: Provides limited protection for your shipment in accordance with federal regulations.
Best For: Shipments containing items of lower value or items that may already be covered by a separate insurance policy.
Full Value Protection (FVP)
Coverage: If an item is lost or damaged, we will repair it, replace it with a similar item, or provide an appropriate settlement based on the circumstances of the claim.
Best For: Larger household moves, valuable furniture, and customers seeking a higher level of protection.
4. Why Compliance Matters
Choosing Bees Moving ST means working with a team committed to reliable, professional service and the Massachusetts community. We take pride in handling every move with care, transparency, and attention to detail, with the goal of remaining one of the most trusted Select location partners in the region.
5. Safety Standards and Training
Our commitment to safety goes beyond paperwork. Every year, our fleet undergoes rigorous mechanical inspections, and our drivers are subject to background checks and ongoing safety training. We don’t just aim to move your boxes; we aim to move them without a single safety incident.
Verify Our Credentials
We encourage all our clients to be diligent. If you would like a physical copy of our Certificate of Insurance (COI) for your building management or for your own records, please reach out to our office, and we will provide it within 24 hours.
