North Bergen Moving Company Fined For Not Having License

NORTH BERGEN, NJ — Ever work with Bin It NJ, based in North Bergen? The company is part of 29 across the state fined for allegedly operating without a moving license, the state Division of Consumer Affairs announced Monday, Aug. 20.

The sting operation occurred over the course of four days in April of this year. State investigators posed as people planning to move from an upscale neighborhood in Montville. They contacted various moving companies advertising online and hired them for their “move."

The movers drove to Montville, expecting to find a luxury home full of items to load, and were instead met by a team of investigators and even the State Police, who conducted vehicle safety inspections on their trucks.

In total, 29 New Jersey-based moving companies were fined, at $2,500 each. Go To Moving & Storage of Staten Island, New York was cited as a second-time offender and given a higher penalty of $5,000.

“An unlicensed moving company can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare,” said New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal. “They’ve been known to hold truckloads of property hostage until the customer pays an extortionate fee. And these unlicensed movers often don’t carry adequate insurance, creating the risk that homeowners will be left high and dry if their property is seriously damaged during the move. That’s why we regulate the industry – and why we crack down on rogue operators.”
