Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
What we found
Report assembled Oct 17, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- 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, faq, licensing, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 1471037, MC-556716); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.

- PROBLEMSays “licensed” — prints no licence number
“Yes, we’re fully licensed by both the Iowa DOT and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the federal agency responsible for regul”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.
A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

Website (observed 2026-10-13T03:23:07.363Z): 656 S Governor St., Iowa City, IA 52240. FMCSA physical address (observed 2026-10-17T06:31:22.771Z): 2726 INDEPENDENCE RD, IOWA CITY, IA 52240. FMCSA mailing address: 2726 INDEPENDENCE RD, IOWA CITY, IA 52240.
Different branches, a relocation, or different reporting dates may explain the difference. Confirm the current operating office and the location handling your move.

- 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 Iowa Secretary of State page was opened and the business-name search form was submitted, but the results page displayed only a Cloudflare 'Performing security verification' interstitial and no entity results could be read. Because the results could not be read, the required separate searches for Adamantine Spine Moving, ADAMANTINE SPINE MOVING, and suffix-free variants could not be completed or verified. No entity record pages, entity IDs, statuses, dates, registered agent, officers, addresses, or as-of dates could be confirmed from the official register. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare security verification on the official Iowa Secretary of State search results endpoint (https://sos.iowa.gov/search/business/Search.aspx) prevented reading the results after submitting the search for ADAMANTINE SPINE MOVING INC.

The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 17, 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 17, 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 9, 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 17, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Authority revocation or suspension actions on recordNo cancelled or revoked insurance filings were identified in the records reviewed. FMCSA’s files hold 20 filing records for these 14 filings; 3 later records on filings that had already ended and 3 replacement records dated the filing’s own effective date are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 2 involuntary revocation actions (served 2023-11-02, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2023-11-09; served 2017-11-02, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2017-11-03), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2021-04-29, effective 2021-06-08), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2006-04-20, disposition REVOKED decided 2021-06-08) and 1 reinstatement (served 2021-06-16).
- Review ratings compared across sourcesBBB has only 1 review, too few to compare with Google's 958; star ratings differ by 0.3 stars.
- Address and operating-location evidenceWebsite and federal records list different addresses. See the dated sources and address roles below; these signals alone do not establish improper operation.

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 17, 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 17, 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. - 37
- 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. - 41
