I made a mistake. The company's name is Extra Move Inc, not Extra Time.

The AMSA has confirmed that Extra Time Inc, AKA Smart Way Moving, is NOT an AMSA member. They are also NOT BBB members. Both statements on their website are lies. But that's not a huge surprise, after reading this person's account of their move.

The website, smartwaymoving.com, lists a DOT license number of 1320000, which is really for Eztra Time, Inc, of Brooklyn. They've had their license only since March, it was revoked a month later, then after a month of no license, got it back. Another month later, it was revoked again, and was out for ANOTHER month. See a pattern? Your move took place a few days after they got it back. http://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/pkg_carrquery.prc_authorityhistory?pv_apcant_id=424345&pv_legal_name=EXTRA^MOVE^INC&pv_pref_docket=MC510842&pv_usdot_no=1320000&pv_vpath=LIVIEW On their website, they claim to be members of both the BBB (who has NO listing for either company name), and the American Moving & Storage Association (waiting on a reply verifying this.

Patriot will be of no help in this matter, they are Blacklisted themselves for countless times of setting up scam moves. They are also a little busy dealing with a DOT and FBI investigation into business dealings done when they used the name National Moving Network.
