Text Box: Rogue movers typically work like this: With or without ever visiting your home, or with or without ever seeing the goods you want shipped, they give a low-ball estimate in person, over the phone, or over the Internet. Once your shipment is on their truck, they demand more money, or they demand more money before they'll deliver or unload the shipment. They hold your goods hostage and force you to pay more—sometimes much more than you thought you had agreed to—if you want your possessions back. (if this happens to you, File a Consumer Complaint with US DOT)
Your best defense is to recognize a rogue mover before they have your goods. Here are the "red flags" to look out for:
Call the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) at 202-366-4000, and give them the moving company's US DOT # and MC #... ask how many federal violations does the company have and how may consumer complaints does the company have. http://www.dot.gov/  Also please read: How To Move Efficiently.
Access the Household Goods (Protect Your Move) website: https://www.protectyourmove.gov/ 
Access US DOT website and Search for your Mover's Complaint History (you will need their DOT number) at: http://ai.volpe.dot.gov/hhg/search.asp 
Access the Safety And Fitness Electronic Records System (SAFER) and research the company Data at: http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx 
Contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in the same city that the company is located and ask how may consumer complaints have been filed against them. Please note: what you are looking for are unsettled or open complaints.  http://www.bbb.org/ 
Search you favorite online search engine for the moving company's name and for "reviews". Read all the reviews you can find about them. A few suggestions are: Search the internet for you local news channel -&- check out www.ripoffreports.com, 
If the mover doesn't offer or agree to an on-site inspection of your household goods and gives an estimate over the phone or Internet—sight-unseen. These estimates often sound too good-to-be-true. They usually are.
If the moving company demands cash or a deposit before the move.
If the moving company doesn't provide you with a copy of "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move," a booklet movers are required by Federal regulations to supply to their customers in the planning stages of interstate moves.
If the moving company gives you an "estimate" and not a "price"... Know the difference between a "binding price" and a "binding estimate", and do not accept bids that say "up to" or "if you have"... these key words generally go hand in hand with binding estimates and automatically invite price changes. Insist on a "binding price" bid. Also read: Ready to Move 
If the company's web site has no local address and no information about licensing or insurance. Also be aware of companies that offer very limited information on the moving industry... the more you know, the better your move will be. Some moving companies thrive on customer ignorance.
If the mover claims all goods are covered by their insurance. All insurance has limits... please read: Understanding Valuation and Insurance Options 
When you call the mover, the telephone is answered with a generic "Movers" or "Moving company," rather than the company's name.
Offices and warehouse are in poor condition or nonexistent. Take the time to visit them, or at least drive by their office.
On moving day, a rental truck arrives rather than a company-owned truck. Please not that this alone does not mean that you have a rogue mover, as most moving companies lease trucks on an as-needed basis, or when all of their company owned trucks are busy.
On moving day, the price to move is doubled or tripled. Tack is that it should not change at all. If this happens, you should ask the mover to leave, and call a different moving company.
On moving day, the movers are not dressed in uniforms... At the very least, all of the employees should have shirts with the moving company's name or logo on it.
