Sloane Moving

1. SERIOUS

   Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read

   None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, pricing, faq, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).

   Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 599929, MC-289369); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.

2. PROBLEM

   Driver out-of-service rate 14.3% vs 6.67% national average

   1 of 7 driver inspections in the last 24 months ended with the driver placed out of service (as of 10/08/2026).

3. PROBLEM

   Says “licensed” — prints no licence number

   “Fully Licensed Movers”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.

   A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

4. PROBLEM

   2 spam links on the site

   Examples: “https://facebook.com/sloanemovers”, “https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=I%20wanted%20to%20share%20this%20great%20website%20with%20you%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sloanemoving.com%2Fwhy-renting-a-truck-might-actually-cost-more-than-hiring-pros”. These have nothing to do with moving.

   Link spam like this means the site is either compromised or bought from a link-farming SEO vendor.

5. COULD NOT VERIFY

   No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business

   We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/10/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 599929.

   Ask for the current certificate number and exact licensed legal name, then verify them with the state. This search result does not establish that the company is unlicensed.

6. NOTE

   Self-declared: “award-winning”

   “Award-Winning Moving Company”. This is the company's own marketing statement; this wording alone does not establish an independent ranking.

9. ON RECORD

   Pennsylvania Department of State Business Search could not be checked in this report

   The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official page identified itself as "Business Search" and displayed that filings received through 10/05/2026 had been processed as of 10/07/2026, but the search form could not be used because the browser was served a "Security Verification Required" challenge. No searches for SLOANE MOVING & STORAGE CO INC, Sloane Moving, or a suffix-free variant could be submitted, so no entity records, IDs, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, record URLs, or source dates could be confirmed. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare security verification (CAPTCHA/automated-visitor challenge) blocked access to the Pennsylvania Department of State Business Search at https://file.dos.pa.gov/search/business before a search could be submitted or results read.

What kind of company is this?

Address use and operating locations

A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.

No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.

Pennsylvania Department of State Business Search · checked Oct 9, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.

Each section of the full report names its sources: official federal and state records, the company's own website, review platforms and other public pages. Access requires a one-time fee, shown at checkout.

What this report checked, source by source. Coverage describes the scope of the report; it does not grade the company. A search with no match applies only to the named source, date and recorded scope; it does not establish that no cases exist.

Checked 11 of 15 applicable sources. Not available when checked: FMCSA insurance filings, State business entity register, Google, BBB.
