✅ What “Registered” Really Means

State of Michigan: We maintain an active LLC with the State of Michigan, updating our business registration each year.
Federal DOT: Neighborly Hauling is registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation and follows FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) regulations. Translation? Our trucks are inspected, our records are current, and your waste is transported lawfully on public roads.

🪪 Licensed to Haul in West Michigan

CDL Certified: I personally hold a Commercial Driver’s License and undergo required DOT testing, annual physicals, and safety training. This ensures safe and compliant operation of heavy equipment.
Local Licenses: We hold active hauling licenses in Kent County, Grand Rapids, Kentwood, and East Grand Rapids. Each municipality has reviewed our insurance and approved us to operate—something many “budget haulers” skip.

🛡 Fully Insured, So You’re Protected

We maintain comprehensive commercial coverage:

General liability insurance
Commercial auto insurance
Property & equipment insurance

That means if something unexpected happens, you’re not left responsible. Your property, your project, and your neighborhood are protected.

⚠ Why It Matters to You

Not every hauler plays by the rules. Unfortunately, when they don’t—it’s often the homeowner or contractor left holding the bill.

Example: In Houston, an unlicensed hauler illegally dumped debris in a public area. The homeowner who hired them was fined for cleanup. Don’t let that happen here in West Michigan.

With Neighborly Hauling, you get peace of mind. We follow the law, maintain insurance, and uphold the highest safety standards so you’re never exposed to risk.
