We checked Wheaton World Wide Moving against the FMCSA federal database (matched to Wheaton Van Lines, Inc., dba Wheaton Worldwide Moving, of Indianapolis, IN — USDOT #70719). Here is what the record shows and what it means for your move:
- Operating authority: Actively authorized by the FMCSA to operate as an interstate motor carrier, with active common and contract authority. This means it is a real carrier that moves your goods itself — not a broker reselling your move to an unknown company.
- Safety rating: Satisfactory — the best rating the FMCSA issues. Many carriers are simply “not rated,” so an on-record Satisfactory rating is a genuine positive signal.
- Insurance on file: $1,000,000 in bodily injury & property damage (BIPD) liability coverage — the level required for its operation — plus cargo insurance on file. If something goes wrong in transit, there is real coverage behind the truck.
- Fleet size: 767 power units and roughly 937 drivers — this is a large national van line, not a two-truck operation. Capacity like this usually means better date flexibility on long-distance routes.
- Driver out-of-service rate: about 6.6% of roadside driver inspections resulted in an out-of-service order, slightly above the ~5.5% national average. Not alarming for a fleet this size, but worth noting.
What this means for you: Wheaton operates through a network of local agents, so your day-to-day experience depends partly on the agent handling your move. Before booking, confirm your quote references USDOT #70719 and ask which local agent will service your move. Data retrieved from the FMCSA on 2026-07-03.
