Another business, “ABO INC”, shares the phone number this company’s website actually dials, (301) 442-2578 (also printed on its site)
A FMCSA record for “ABO INC” shows the phone number this company’s website actually dials, (301) 442-2578 (also printed on its site); the same business appears on 8 other pages. Excerpt: “... (301) 442-2578. Mailing Address: 11609 KAREN DRIVE POTOMAC, MD 20852. DUNS Number: 0 - -. Power Units: 3. Non-CMV Units: 0, Drivers: 3. Operation Classification ...”
A shared identifier shows a connection; it does not establish common ownership, succession or responsibility. The corporate relationship is not verified.
The same phone number listed for two business names is a connection worth understanding before you book.
Before booking: Ask the company what its relationship is to “ABO INC” and make sure the name on your contract is the company you expect.
Follow-up on a related business: partly established
The FMCSA record identifies ABO INC as the legal name and AK MOVERS as its DBA, and lists the same Potomac, Maryland address and phone number for that carrier.
The permitted source does not verify a Washington, DC location, state-register filing, shared people, websites, succession or rebranding, or any consumer statement; those points remain unverified.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.

DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection CorpOnline could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Could not complete or read the official register search because reCAPTCHA validation was required. The names AK Movers, ABO INC, and AK MOVERS could not be searched separately to completion, and no result list or entity record pages could be opened. Because no official results were readable, entity IDs, types, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, source URLs, and source dates could not be confirmed. The register search was blocked: Google reCAPTCHA user validation blocked the BOSS Global Search after the search form was submitted; the register displayed "User validation required to continue" and no results could be read. The legacy CorpOnline URL also returned Cloudflare Error 522 (connection timed out).

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

Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
3 passed1 caution
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: carrier. 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 authority
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 10, 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 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 ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 10, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
Review ratings compared across sources
Google has an unknown number of reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 298; star ratings differ by 0.4 stars.
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.

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.

Insurance status
—
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.

Report assembled Oct 10, 2026. First published Sep 3, 2026. This report pulls from 680 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.
