Nassau County independent carrier
Verity Van Lines is at 3685 Merrick Road in Seaford and holds USDOT 24880 and MC-94992. SAFER, as of 08/02/2026 and read by us on 21 October 2026, lists it as a Carrier with an Active USDOT status and no out of service date.
The operating authority line reads Authorized for Motor Carrier of Household Goods, and the fleet line reads 15 power units and 10 drivers. Household Goods is the only cargo box checked. The site prints the same USDOT number in its footer, and the two agree. Despite the name, the site describes an independent, family owned company and names no van line.
Its history claim is one of the oldest in our set: the site says its history dates back to 1912. What is missing is any rate, deposit or valuation term, and any New York certificate number. The insurance filings behind the federal authority and the state certificate could not be checked on our read date. The sections below say what the record shows, what the site claims, and how to close the gaps.
| USDOT number | 24880 (also printed in the company site footer) | FMCSA record |
|---|---|---|
| MC number | MC-94992 | FMCSA record |
| Entity type | Carrier | FMCSA record |
| Operating status | Authorized; USDOT status Active; no out of service date (SAFER as of 08/02/2026, read 21 October 2026) | FMCSA record |
| Interstate authority | Authorized for Motor Carrier of Household Goods; Household Goods is the only cargo box checked | FMCSA record |
| Power units | 15 power units, 10 drivers (MCS-150 dated 02/12/2026) | FMCSA record |
| Insurance on file | could not check: the FMCSA Licensing and Insurance page at https://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/pkg_carrquery.prc_carrlist returned only a blank search form on 21 October 2026 | could not check |
| New York State certificate | could not check: NYSDOT CarCert at https://carcert.dot.ny.gov/ marked its carrier search Functionality Under Development on 21 October 2026, and no public household goods carrier list was found; no NYDOT number printed on the site | could not check |
USDOT 24880 is one of the lowest numbers in this directory, and its authority line is narrower than most. It reads Authorized for Motor Carrier of Household Goods, with no general property authority alongside it. For a household move that is the authority that matters. The entity type is Carrier, which on FMCSA’s definitions means a company that owns trucks, employs the crew and takes responsibility for the goods.
The fleet line, 15 power units and 10 drivers, comes from an MCS-150 filing dated 02/12/2026, so it is this year’s count as the company filed it.
The record is interstate. It says nothing about a move from Seaford to Massapequa, which is a New York matter under Transportation Law section 191 and NYSDOT’s certificate regime. The site’s footer prints the USDOT number but no NYDOT certificate number, and the state’s advertising rule, 17 NYCRR 814.1(a), expects one in all advertising. The state booklet tells consumers to be wary of a mover that cannot give its certificate number. The site does not print one, so ask for it first.
The name suggests a van line agent. The site says otherwise: an independent, family owned company, with no van line named anywhere we read. Its history claim is over a 100 years of experience with roots in 1912, which we print as a first party claim. The site states membership in the Long Island Moving and Storage Association and the American Trucking Associations, and says it is BBB accredited. All three are first party statements; we did not verify them with the associations.
Service is described as both Nassau and Suffolk, plus nationwide, with Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens added in the footer. Long distance pages name Florida, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Arizona as direct service destinations. The service list covers local and long distance moves, furniture removal, full service storage, portable storage, self service storage, packing and packing supplies. The site describes an extensive fleet of modern, well maintained moving trucks, consistent with the 15 power units on the record. Estimates are offered in person and virtual; FMCSA’s red flag list opens with an estimate given sight unseen.
We read the home page and the Best Long Island Moving Company page on 21 October 2026. There is no hourly rate, no minimum, no travel time rule, no deposit figure and no statement of whether the estimate is binding. On liability the site says it is fully qualified and properly insured for long distance moving. That is a first party claim and we print it as one. It is the kind of statement the records could confirm, if the records would load.

On an interstate move: a written estimate based on a physical or virtual survey, and the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet. Released value liability runs no more than 60 cents per pound per article unless you buy Full Value Protection.
On a New York move: a free on site estimate on request under section 196, the Summary of Information for Shippers of Household Goods, and an order for service showing the maximum you must pay to get delivery. Ask for the deposit figure and the valuation options in writing before you sign anything. The estimates guide lists the six things to get in writing.
The FMCSA Licensing and Insurance page for USDOT 24880 gave us a blank search form with the words Please enter the challenge question on 21 October 2026, so we could not read the BIPD and cargo filings. NYSDOT’s CarCert portal marked its carrier search Functionality Under Development the same day, and we found no public list of certificated household goods movers. Neither failure says anything about this company; the public lookups were not working for us that day.
If any of the lookups differ from what we printed, tell us and we will correct the page with the new date.
