FMCSA regulatory snapshot
- Authority status
What does this mean?
"Authority" is the FMCSA permission to operate as a federal interstate carrier. NOT AUTHORIZED / INACTIVE means the carrier cannot legally accept interstate moves under federal rules. ACTIVE means they have permission to operate. - AUTHORIZED FOR: Motor Carrier of Household Goods
- Carrier operation
- Interstate
- Authorized for HHG
What does this mean?
"HHG" stands for Household Goods, the federal category covering home moves. A carrier without HHG authority is not allowed to move home contents across state lines under federal law. - Yes
- 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. - 3
- 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. - 3
- 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)
- No consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four yearsBy year: none in the last four years · registry data as of Jul 31, 2026 · FMCSA complaint history

- Operating authority dockets
- ActiveMC914468Motor Carrier of Household Goods
A company can hold several federal dockets over its lifetime. Only an Active docket grants operating authority. An inactive one is history, not a violation.
Reviews and complaints — every platform we check
Each platform is shown whether or not this company has a listing. “No listing found” means we searched by name and city and nothing matched — it is a fact, not a rating.
What the reviews show
0 reviews readThe website says 708 reviews on Google. We could read 0 (Trustpilot 0); Google could not be counted, so this is not the company’s total.
- NOTABLE708 reviews across platforms (0 reviews on Trustpilot; 708 reviews claimed on the company website for Google, which we could not read); FMCSA record: 3 trucks, 3 drivers, 3,000 miles reported, registered 11.1 years; that is about 64 reviews per year registered (all platforms, n=708)
- WEAKThe website claims 708 reviews on Google; Google could not be read (Google Maps returned a page with no business name. Google ratings are read through Google’s licensed Places API, which is not yet connected.), so we could not verify the claim (Google, n=0)
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.

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.
