What to know before the deposit
Oklahoma requires a household goods certificate even for moves within one city, and an OCC decal on every truck. The commission publishes the list of licensed movers.
Registered is not the same as good. A state credential means the office can find the company and that it filed what the state requires. Read the dated reviews, then call.
