- PROBLEMSays “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number
“We are fully licensed and insured”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.
A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

“After all, we are the best moving company in the region for a reason”. This is the company's own marketing statement; this wording alone does not establish an independent ranking.

- ON RECORDKansas Secretary of State Business Entity Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Could not submit separate searches for AMERICAN MOVERS LLC, American Movers, or AMERICAN MOVERS because the official register displayed the human-verification challenge first. No official search results or entity record pages could be read, so entity IDs, types, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, source dates, and exact record URLs could not be confirmed. The provided register URL was reachable, but automated access was stopped at the site's security check; no alternative official Kansas business-entity search endpoint was identified and used. The register search was blocked: The official Kansas Secretary of State Business Entity Search was blocked by a Human Verification security check (Let's confirm you are human / Begin prompt) before any search could be submitted or results read.

What kind of company is this?
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.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- 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 authorityThe 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 licenceKansas Corporation Commission — Motor Carrier Search lists certificate ; its status was not available when checked (checked Oct 9, 2026).
- 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 sourcesGoogle has an unknown number of reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 23; star ratings differ by 0.6 stars.
- Address and operating-location evidenceProperty 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: carrierObserved Oct 10, 2026
- Carrier operation
- Interstate
- 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. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 10, 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. - 7
- 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. - 6
- 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

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.
