Contact · one line
(888) 309-3082 reaches First Southern Van Lines directly. It is the number on our Google listing and on every page of this site, which is the point: the company you check is the company you call. If you would rather see numbers before you speak to anyone, the calculator gives you a range without asking who you are.
The line
There is one phone number for this operation, and no second tier behind it. Everything below is what sits at the other end of it.
(888) 309-3082Oakland Park, FL
The same line appears on this site, on the Google listing, and on the paperwork. That consistency is not decoration: a mover whose phone number changes depending on where you found it is a mover you cannot hold to a record.
The person who picks up works for the company holding the registrations printed on this page, not for a call center that sells your details to whoever bids on them. That is the whole difference between phoning a carrier and phoning a broker, and it is checkable before you dial: the numbers in the section below belong to the same legal entity that answers this line.
Four steps, in order
Written out so the call holds no surprises, and so you can tell whether the company on the other end is following it.
Origin and destination city, and the month you are aiming at. That much sets which corridor your move rides and what the calendar is doing to capacity around your dates.
Bedrooms, the garage, the things that are their own problem: a piano, a safe, a treadmill nobody wants to carry. Then access at both ends, because stairs, an elevator reservation, and where a tractor-trailer can legally stop all change the work.
A planning range for that corridor, that size and that month, with the basis said out loud rather than implied. It is the same figure the calculator on this site produces, and it is not a price: it is the band your price should land inside.
A video walkthrough takes about fifteen minutes on your phone and is what federal rules require before a written estimate exists. Nothing on the first call books a move. The written estimate, binding or non-binding, comes after the survey, and that is the document that decides what you pay.
This is a planning range, not an estimate. Your exact price is put in writing after a video or in-home survey, as federal law requires. That written estimate is either binding or non-binding.
If you are not ready to talk to anyone
Most moving sites hold the figure hostage behind a form, which is how one inquiry turns into six companies calling you for two weeks. Ours does not.
Corridor, home size, month, and the access details that matter. The range appears before any contact field does, and the contact fields stay optional after it. No name, no number, no email, and nothing to unsubscribe from later.
Sixteen of the questions people call and ask are already written down, from what happens to a damaged item to what a delivery window really means to what we cannot legally carry. The ones this company cannot honestly answer yet are listed there too, as questions to put to us on the phone.
Before you dial
Both registrations below are public records with search boxes, and neither one needs us to be involved. Five minutes on either tells you more than any amount of website copy.
USDOT 4022357MC 1517490
Search either number on FMCSA’s SAFER system. The snapshot names the legal entity, MAESTRO MOVING & STORAGE LLC, with First Southern Van Lines on the record as its trade name, and shows whether the interstate authority is active and what it is authorized to carry.
Fla. Mover Reg. No. IM3947Broward County Mover Reg. No. MV-100048
Interstate authority is federal; moving anyone within Florida takes a separate state registration under Chapter 507. Ours is IM3947, held by the same legal entity and searchable on the FDACS license lookup, or by phone on 1-800-HELP-FLA. Broward County adds its own registration under Ordinance 94-34, and ours is MV-100048.
This page gives you a city and a set of registration numbers rather than a street address. The operation runs out of Oakland Park, FL, in Broward County, and every lane on this site starts there. The numbers are the part you can actually verify, and they are what identify the company on anything you sign.
