How do I add my phone and website to my moving company's USDOT page?
Open your company's page on the mover check, find the box that starts "Run this company?", and join the Swift Agent Network. The basic listing is free and adds the member mark and a link to your website, or none. Full membership adds your photo or logo, phone, short bio and a Contact me form. We check the USDOT number is yours before you pay, and the federal filing itself never changes.
A family planning a long-distance move is told to check the mover's USDOT number before they sign. Many do. They type it into the federal lookup or into a page built from it, and they see whether the company has authority and insurance on file. Then they want to reach someone. That is where most company pages stop helping you.
What does a customer see when they look up your USDOT number?
The federal register is public, and the FMCSA Company Snapshot is where anyone can look a company up by USDOT number. The facts it carries are about the filing: the legal name, the operating status and what the company is registered to do. Insurance on file is in FMCSA's separate licensing and insurance records. Our mover check reads the same federal files and turns them into a plain page for each company.
That is useful to a customer, and a short list of things is missing from it:
| What the customer wants next | On the federal filing alone? |
|---|---|
| Proof the company is registered | Yes |
| Proof the insurance is on file | Yes |
| A phone number you want customers to use | Only whatever was filed, which may be old |
| Your website | No |
| A photo or logo, so they know it is the right company | No |
| A way to send you a note | No |
Customers who find a clean record and no way to reach you tend to go back to their search. You can't change the record, and you shouldn't want to, because it is your proof. You can add your details next to it.
How do I add my details to my USDOT page?
- Find your page. Search your company name or USDOT number on the mover check. Bus and limo operators use the bus check and work the same way.
- Find the box that starts "Run this company?" It sits near the middle of the page and offers two choices. The free one is the basic listing, and the other is full membership.
- Pick the basic listing or full membership. Basic gives you the member mark on your page, a link to your website (or no link) and your own member page. Full adds your photo or logo, your phone, a link to your website, a short bio and a Contact me form that emails you.
- Give your USDOT number. We match it to the federal register before anything goes live, and for full membership you pay only after that check.
- Check the page. What you add shows as added by the company, under the federal facts, which stay as filed.
There is also a separate "Own this company? Claim your listing" form at the bottom of the page. It takes a work email, the name to show, a phone, a website and a short note. A confirmation link is sent to that inbox, and nothing shows on the page until it is confirmed. Use the claim form if you only want to correct the display name, phone and website. Use the network if you also want the photo, bio, contact form and hub listing.
What does the Contact me form do?
It is a short form on your page. A customer writes a note, and it goes to the email you chose. It goes only to you, it is not a request for quotes sent to several companies, and the page says plainly that Swift Agent Sites does not arrange moves and does not promise a reply. You answer from your own inbox, the way you would answer any lead.
What is the state hub?
For each state we publish a movers hub with local guidance for people moving there, for example the Arizona movers hub, with posts on interstate moves and on who to call when a mover holds the goods. A full member can be listed on the hub for their state, so a reader doing their homework before a move can reach a company they have just seen is registered. Hubs exist for some states and not others, so look at yours before counting on it.
What it does not do
- It does not rate you. There are no stars or reviews on these pages.
- It does not promise inquiries. Nobody can honestly say how many customers a listing brings.
- It does not change your federal filing. Your insurance and authority are shown as FMCSA publishes them.
- It does not hide a problem. If the record shows a lapse or a revocation, the page says so, and what you add sits below it.
Do I need a website?
No. If you have a website, the page links to it. If you have none, the USDOT page is your link, and the Contact me form lets a customer reach you from it. Either way, you can join the Swift Agent Network free, with your website or none, and add your photo, phone and form later if you want them.
Questions
Do I need a website to be listed?
No. If you have one, the page links to it. If you don't, the USDOT page itself is where customers find you, and the Contact me form on a full membership sends their note to your email.
Does this change my FMCSA registration?
No. The page shows what the federal register says, and what you add is labeled as added by the company. Your filing with FMCSA stays exactly as it is.
Is there a rating or a review on the page?
No. The page is a listing, not a review site. It has no stars, and it does not promise you any inquiries.
What does it cost?
The basic listing is free. Full membership is $29 a month or $290 a year, and you pay only after the USDOT number has been checked.
