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.

“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.

Changes observed in this company's federal and state records during the last 90 days. Each entry shows when the change was observed.
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.
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.
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.
Read these findings before booking or paying a deposit. Key evidence and the action to take are shown below.
