- ON RECORDIowa Secretary of State Business Entities Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official register landing page was accessible, but submitting the search for ACTION MOVING triggered a Cloudflare security-verification page instead of search results. Search results for ACTION MOVING, ACTION MOVING & STORAGE, SIOUXLAND MOVING & STORAGE LLC, and SIOUXLAND MOVING & STORAGE could not be read or opened into record pages. Because no results page was accessible, no entity IDs, types, statuses, dates, registered agents, officers, addresses, source URLs, or source dates could be confirmed. The register's landing page states that name searches return entities beginning with the entered first letters or words, but pagination or a result total could not be inspected because the results were blocked. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare security verification blocked the official Iowa Secretary of State Business Entities Search immediately after the search form was submitted; the results page could not be read.

- Oct 16, 2026INFONew Entrant Program status: CURRENTLY IN NEW ENTRANT PROGRAM. (NEVER IN NEW ENTRANT PROGRAM → CURRENTLY IN NEW ENTRANT PROGRAM)
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.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
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)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 16, 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 reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 16, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- 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 BIPD insurance filing (dated record)On-file BIPD amount ($1,000,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 16, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record2 cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. In each case FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 4 filing records for these 2 filings; 2 replacement records dated the filing’s own effective date are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2024-06-21, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2024-07-19). FMCSA's open data shows this USDOT's filing history only up to 2026-05-14: the legacy L&I files stopped updating that day, and the MOTUS files, which hold later changes, list no record for this USDOT. A filing change after 2026-05-14 was not available when checked.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesYelp has only 2 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 274; star ratings differ by 0.2 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 Oct 16, 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. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 16, 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. - 7
- 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. - 12
- 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
