What we found
Report assembled Oct 10, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- CRITICALNo active federal operating authority
MC705328 Household Goods — INACTIVE. SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED.
It advertises interstate moves it holds no federal authority to perform.
Source: Captured FMCSA record · Captured FMCSA record · as of Oct 10, 2026
- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, pricing, faq, licensing) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
The pages we examined did not provide a USDOT or MC number to check. Ask which registration would carry your interstate move.
Source: company website · as of Oct 10, 2026
- PROBLEMSays “licensed” — prints no licence number
“We are locally owned, fully licensed, and dedicated to serving the families and businesses of South Louisiana”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.
A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

BBB 5.0★ (14 reviews) vs Yelp 2.9★ (10 reviews): a 2.1-star gap between platforms Rating and review count observations: google: 2026-10-10T22:56:30.275Z; yelp: 2026-10-10T22:56:30.275Z; bbb: 2026-10-10T23:32:09.166258+00:00.

- COULD NOT VERIFYNo State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/10/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 1996186.
Ask for the current certificate number and exact licensed legal name, then verify them with the state. This search result does not establish that the company is unlicensed.

- ON RECORDLouisiana Secretary of State Commercial Database could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official register page was reachable, but its reCAPTCHA challenge prevented reading search results. Submitted separate entity-name searches for ACADIANA MOVERS LLC, Acadiana Movers, and ACADIANA MOVERS; each returned the reCAPTCHA error instead of a results list. Because no results list or record pages could be read, no entity ID, type, status, formation date, registered agent, officers, address, source date, or record URL could be confirmed. No pagination or result-total information was available because the CAPTCHA prevented the results page from loading. The register search was blocked: CAPTCHA blocked the search on the official Louisiana Secretary of State Commercial Search page. Submitting the searches returned the site's message: "reCAPTCHA error. Please try again." No results could be read.
- ON RECORDFollow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The FMCSA MOTUS record identifies USDOT 4495496 as BACIO ACADIANA MOVERS LLC at 120 SOUTHPARK RD, LAFAYETTE, LA, with telephone 3375044395, email david@acadianamovers.com, and officials [name withheld] and David Treadway, but it does not establish a separate Acadiana Movers entity's ownership, succession, or rebranding relationship.
No state-register filing, separate Acadiana Movers record, website page, or consumer statement was verified because the required source restriction allowed only the MOTUS account page; the page also does not state that the business succeeded or rebranded from another company.

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.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 10, 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 Oct 10, 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 licenceWe searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 10, 2026) and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed in this state, or that it operates under a different legal name — it is not itself proof of a violation.
- 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 sourcesStar ratings differ by 2.1 stars across Google, Yelp, BBB. Read reviews on each platform before relying on any single rating.
- 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.
Company connections
Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 9, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.
Follow-up on unresolved leads
Each question below was checked against further sources on Oct 10, 2026. The conclusion states only what those sources establish; what remains unverified is stated beside it.

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. - No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 10, 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 Oct 10, 2026
- Operating status
What does this mean?
This means the company's USDOT registration is active in the FMCSA database. It does NOT mean the company is authorized to operate as a federal interstate mover. See "Authority status" above for that. A carrier can have an ACTIVE USDOT registration but still not be authorized to do interstate moves. - ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 1
- 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. - 1
- 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.
State household-goods licence
In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 10, 2026.
