The USDOT number shown (1473292) is registered to a different company
What we found
Report assembled Sep 30, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- SERIOUSThe USDOT number shown (1473292) is registered to a different company
USDOT 1473292 belongs to OLD BAYMEADOWS MOVERS INC in JACKSONVILLE, FL. We could not connect that registration to this business: its phone and address do not match, and the two names share no distinctive words. It holds active operating authority.
Ask the company which registration covers your move and get that USDOT number in writing on the estimate. A mover trading under a number that is not its own may be an undisclosed agent — or may hold no authority of its own at all.

- PROBLEMOffers moves across state lines; its federal registration could not be checked in this report
Its website says “esty, reliability, and exceptional customer service. Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, our experienced team is committed to making your move as smooth and st”. Our federal registry search (SAFER, MOTUS) did not complete in this report, so no registration is claimed either way; the carrier for those moves is unresolved.
This does not show that the company operates without authority: a move across state lines can be performed under another company’s registration. Before booking one, ask for the exact legal name and the USDOT and MC numbers of the carrier that will perform it, and proof of its insurance for the move, and check them.

- ON RECORDIdentified by its own website
We read 5 pages of wemovejax.com. The site prints phone (904) 731-7223 and describes its own moving services, advertises local moves, advertises long-distance moves, advertises interstate moves, states it is licensed and insured, prints a USDOT or MC number. It prints USDOT 1473292 and MC 556261, which we could not confirm as its own registration — see the identity finding below. Our federal registry search did not complete this run, so no registration is claimed either way.
It advertises interstate moves without a federal registration we could confirm — see the federal findings on this page.

What kind of company is this?
The captured federal record lists a carrier role. This alone does not establish current interstate household-goods authority or guarantee who will perform your move.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Aug 12, 2026. Carrier, broker and freight-forwarder authority are separate categories. This federal result does not determine its eligibility for in-state moves; see the separate state-registry check.
- Federal interstate household-goods carrier authorityThe captured FMCSA record does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Aug 12, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority; see the category-specific federal dockets. It does not determine eligibility for in-state moves or another operating carrier.
- State household-goods licenceNot checked for this profile.
- Federal insurance statusWe do not have a consistent, dated insurance amount observation matched to this company’s USDOT. This is a verification gap, not a finding that the company is uninsured.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesGoogle has an unknown number of reviews and Yelp has only 4 reviews and BBB has only 5 reviews, too few to compare with BBB's 5; star ratings differ by 2.8 stars.
- Address and operating-location evidenceProperty use and a customer-accessible operating facility have not been established. A registered address, mailing address and local office can serve different purposes.
Address use and operating locations
A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.
No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.
FMCSA regulatory snapshot
- Authority status
What does this mean?
Federal operating authority is category-specific: carrier, broker and freight-forwarder roles are separate. An active registration or one active role does not establish household-goods carrier authority. Operating restrictions are checked separately. - Active federal authority: carrierObserved Aug 12, 2026
- Carrier operation
- Interstate
- Interstate HHG carrier authority
What does this mean?
"HHG" means Household Goods. This field checks interstate carrier authority, not separate broker authority. A "No" here does not rule out broker authority; consult the category-specific federal dockets below. - No — not shown in the captured recordObserved Aug 12, 2026
- Operating status
- ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 4
- Drivers
What does this mean?
Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered. - 5
- Insurance status

- Safety rating
What does this mean?
FMCSA only assigns a safety rating after conducting a Compliance Review (a formal on-site audit). Most carriers have never been audited. About 90% of registered carriers carry no rating. "Not rated" is normal; it does not mean the carrier failed an audit or is unsafe. It only means an audit has not happened. - Not rated

A company can hold several federal dockets over its lifetime. Only an Active docket grants operating authority. An inactive one is history, not a violation.

NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source. It does not mean the answer is good or bad.
