  4. ON RECORD
    Pennsylvania Department of State Business Search could not be checked in this report

    The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. No name search could be submitted for Appalachian Movers LLC, the suffixless name, or any other supplied name. No official register results or record pages could be opened, so entity identity, status, ID, type, dates, agent, officers, address, source URL, and source date could not be confirmed. The landing page stated that as of 10/09/2026 the office had processed filings received through 10/07/2026, but this is not a business-record result. The register search was blocked: The official Pennsylvania Business Search was blocked by a security verification / Cloudflare challenge before a search could be submitted or results read. The browser displayed 'Security Verification Required' and 'We need to verify that you're a legitimate visitor'.

  5. ON RECORD
    Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 0 reviews, 0 public complaints

    BBB exposes no reviews. BBB reports 0 complaints; no public complaint narratives were available to read. Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.

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.

4 trucks on file

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.
  • 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.

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.

State household-goods licence

In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 10, 2026.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 10, 2026 and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed here, or that it is registered under a different legal name.
