NEW START RELOCATION does not own trucks and operates as a broker, selling moves and dispatching carriers to perform them.

FMCSA Complaint Breakdown by Category

The NCCDB categorizes complaints into specific types. For NEW START RELOCATION, estimates/final charges leads with 40 complaints, followed by deceptive business practices at 35 and shipment documents at 25.

Hostage goods complaints, where a broker refuses to deliver until the consumer pays more, total 7. While not the highest category by volume, hostage situations represent the most severe consumer harm.

Year-Over-Year Complaint Trend

What to Do If You Have a NEW START RELOCATION Complaint

If you have experienced problems with NEW START RELOCATION, there are several steps you can take.

First, if you paid by credit card, file a chargeback with your credit card company immediately. You typically have 60 to 120 days from the charge date. Provide documentation of the original quote, the contract, and any communications showing the discrepancy.

Second, file a federal complaint with FMCSA through the National Consumer Complaint Database at nccdb.fmcsa.dot.gov. This creates an official record that contributes to enforcement actions.

Third, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau at bbb.org.

Fourth, submit a report to Trunk at trunk.lorea.ai/report-mover. Consumer reports submitted to Trunk are reviewed, documented, and may be included in published research.

Fifth, if your goods are being held hostage, contact local law enforcement. While they may classify it as a civil matter, having a police report strengthens your case.
