PROBLEM
18 spam links on the site
Examples: “pin up”, “jeetcity casino”, “king chance”. These have nothing to do with moving.
Link spam like this means the site is either compromised or bought from a link-farming SEO vendor.

ON RECORD
USDOT 2013279: no federal operating authority recorded
SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The registration declares Intrastate Only (Non-HM) to FMCSA. This does not establish the business's advertised service area.
For an interstate move, verify which carrier will perform the move and its operating authority. For an in-state move, check the applicable state licence.

ON RECORD
Not in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 2013279 does not appear in FMCSA's Protect Your Move household-goods mover registry, so the National Consumer Complaint Database history is not published for it. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate movers only.

What kind of company is this?

Carrier

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.

Intrastate operation reported

The captured federal record reports in-state operation. This is a declared operating scope, not verification of a state license. See the separate licensing checks.

What we checked

2 passed

Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
No active federal authority captured. 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 authority
An own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 16, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
State household-goods licence
Texas DMV (TxDMV) motor-carrier registry lists an active motor carrier certificate 000572890, valid through Nov 30, 2026 (checked Oct 9, 2026).
Federal insurance status
We 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 sources
Star ratings are within 0.0 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.

Carrier vs broker disclosure check: serious concern

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 16, 2026
Carrier operation What does this mean? This carrier is registered to operate only within one state. Federal interstate authority does not apply to intrastate-only carriers, which is why federal insurance and authority status fields may show as "Not Specified" or "Not Authorized.": Intrastate Only (Non-hazardous materials)
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.: Not applicable to the recorded role or in-state scopeObserved 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.: 0
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.: 2
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
DOT complaints (FMCSA): We could not verify complaints for this companyNot listed in FMCSA's Protect Your Move mover registry, so no NCCDB complaint history is published for this USDOT number. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate household-goods movers only. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.
FMCSA enforcement & investigations: No enforcement cases (six years) · SMS record
Physical address: 2462 SATTERWHITE RD, BUDA, TX 78610

State household-goods licence

In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what Texas DMV (TxDMV) motor-carrier registry shows as of Oct 9, 2026.

Verified customer experience reports

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.
