What to know before the deposit
We found no provincial mover licence in Newfoundland and Labrador. Consumer Affairs at Government Services is the complaint door for a business. A commercial carrier registers under the National Safety Code when the vehicle is registered. That number tracks trucking safety. It is not a mover licence. The written contract is the protection.
A move that crosses into another province or the US follows the contract and the rules where the company is based. Ask, in writing, which company holds your goods on the road and what it pays per pound or per item if something breaks.
