PROBLEM
Follow-up on a related business: partly established
The cited FMCSA registration identifies the business as ADAMS MOVING COMPANY LLC at 42 NEWTON RD, BRANFORD, CT 06405, with no DBA name shown.
No state-register filing, shared person, website, succession or rebranding statement, or consumer statement can be verified because the only permitted source is this FMCSA page; the page also does not establish ownership or continuity with a separate Adams Moving Company.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 3631786.
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 RECORD
No consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four years
FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database shows no complaints against USDOT 3631786 in the last four years (registry data as of 09/25/2026).
Connecticut Secretary of the State Business Records Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Could not submit searches for ADAMS MOVING COMPANY LLC, Adams Moving Company, or the suffix-less variant because CAPTCHA verification was required and was not completed. Could not confirm whether any matching entities exist or read any entity record pages, identifiers, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, or source dates. Because no results page was reached, result pagination/completeness could not be assessed. The register search was blocked: The official Connecticut Business Records Search blocked submission because the CAPTCHA was not verified (the page displayed: "Captcha is not verified."). No search results could be read.
ON RECORD
Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 0 reviews, 0 public complaints
BBB exposes no reviews. BBB reports 0 complaints; no public complaint narratives were available to read. Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.
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.
Interstate HHG carrier authority
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
4+ years online
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

What we checked
4 passed1 caution
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 14, 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 authority
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 14, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
State household-goods licence
We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 13, 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 ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 14, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
No cancelled insurance filings in the records read; later history not read
No cancelled or revoked filings were identified in the records reviewed, which do not cover this company’s full filing history. 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 sources
Star ratings are within 0.3 stars of each other across 2 review sources, each with at least 10 reviews.
Address and operating-location evidence
Property 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.
Serious concerns and company connections

Concern — verify before booking

Observed
The cited FMCSA registration identifies the business as ADAMS MOVING COMPANY LLC at 42 NEWTON RD, BRANFORD, CT 06405, with no DBA name shown.
No state-register filing, shared person, website, succession or rebranding statement, or consumer statement can be verified because the only permitted source is this FMCSA page; the page also does not establish ownership or continuity with a separate Adams Moving Company.
Before booking: Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.

FMCSA regulatory snapshot
Authority statusWhat 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.
Interstate HHG carrier authorityWhat 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.
TrucksWhat does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
3
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

Safety ratingWhat 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.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 13, 2026 and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed here, or that it is registered under a different legal name.

How current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 14, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 547 pieces of information across federal, state, review, and identity sources. Check each source's date for when its information was observed.
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.
