What we found

Report assembled Oct 11, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. SERIOUS
    103 consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four years — 33 for holding goods hostage

    FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database (via the Protect Your Move registry) — by year: 2023: 21 · 2024: 23 · 2025: 35 · 2026: 24 (registry data as of 09/25/2026). Categories: Estimates/Final Charges 64, Deceptive Business Practices 57, Shipment Documents 45, Pickup and Delivery 44, Claim Settlement 35. Separately, the registry reports a fleet snapshot of 0 trucks, 0 tractors, 0 trailers; this does not measure moves completed during the complaint period.

    Hostage-goods complaints mean customers told FMCSA this company held their belongings until they paid more than the estimate.

  2. SERIOUS
    Advertises 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, pricing, 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).

    The pages we examined did not provide a USDOT or MC number to check. Ask which registration would carry your interstate move.

  3. PROBLEM
    Says “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number

    “our family will already feel more comfortable with the next chapter in your lives. Choose Licensed & Insured Movers The United States is gov”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.

    A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

  4. PROBLEM
    Ratings disagree sharply between platforms

    BBB 4.7★ (978 reviews) vs Trustpilot 2.4★ (98 reviews): a 2.3-star gap between platforms

    When one platform is glowing and another is not, the difference is the story — read both.

What kind of company is this?

Broker registration; advertising needs clarification

The captured record lists a broker role, while the website suggests a carrier role. See the sourced disclosure findings and confirm who will actually 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 passed1 caution
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    Active federal authority: broker. Observed Oct 11, 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 11, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
  • Federal broker authority
    The captured record reports active broker authority: arranging transportation, not hauling goods as the carrier. Observed Oct 11, 2026.
  • State household-goods licence
    Not checked for this profile.
  • 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 differ by 2.3 stars across BBB, Trustpilot. Read reviews on each platform before relying on any single rating.
  • 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 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: brokerObserved Oct 11, 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 11, 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.

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.

How current is this report?

Report assembled Oct 11, 2026. First published Sep 2, 2026. This report pulls from 485 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.
