United States Movers inc this company refuses to reimburse for my property destroyed after a truck fire miami beach, Florida

United States Movers transports peoples belongings from state to state. Their truck caught on fire while moving my stuff from FL to MA. I don't know how it caught on fire. All I know is none of my stuff was never delivered it was ALL DESTROYED by the fire.

US movers has refused to honor the 60 cent insurance required by the DOT, they do not return any of my phone calls or emails. I would like them to pay for my lost property and reimburse me for the deposit I made.

they simlpy keep going about their business of ripping the public off. I hope any and all who read these messages check this company out throughly before hiring them to move their property

Yes insurance was part of my contract, 60 cents per pound. That is required by the DOT.

also, the original amount quoted over the phone was doubled after the came to pick up my property.

United States Movers  has refused to even honor the required minimum insurance amounts..  I have called and email that company mamy many times. They will not return any phone calls or emails. once the know it is a problem call they immediately transfer you then disconnect.

This company should be avoided, they are out to rip off the unsuspecting public.

Standard interstate move insurance I believe is only 60 cents per pound, unless you contract for higher insurance. At the very least, you ought to be getting that standard insurance value back based on total weight.

I don't know what they're legally allowed to do with payments made towards a move when this happens, but I would consider it underhanded for them not to return all such payments when fire destroys a transport. An honest firm would eat that loss, especially since you're already eating a big loss in value to your goods.

Check with whatever Federal and state agencies (shipping state at least) oversee the industry to know your rights and possibly sick a regulator on them.

"there was a truck fire and all my property was destroyed."

I am sorry, but I have a hard time understanding what the sentence means? You saw a truck in fire? The truck is in fire? How did that happen? While you were driving, the truck exploded? Or someone lit fire and burn the truck down??? I have no idea...
