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

- COULD NOT VERIFYNo State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/10/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 1863397.
Ask for the current certificate number and exact licensed legal name, then verify them with the state. This search result does not establish that the company is unlicensed.

The shared contact identifier is a connection worth understanding before you book.
Before booking: Ask the company what its relationship is to “Self Storage Facility Knoxville TN” and make sure the name on your contract is the company you expect.

- NOTEFollow-up on a related business: partly established
The permitted page identifies the Knoxville listing as Allsafe Storage at 7503 Taggart Lane with website allsafestorage.net, but it does not establish a relationship to Appalachian Moving & Storage in Deep Gap, NC.
No state-register or FMCSA filing, shared person, Deep Gap address, appmovingandstorage.com website, succession or rebranding statement, or consumer statement about succession/rebranding appears on the permitted page; the page also prints no date, so those matters remain unverified under the source restriction.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.

- ON RECORDNorth Carolina Secretary of State Business Registration Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Could not submit searches for APPALACHIAN MOVING & STORAGE LLC, Appalachian Moving & Storage, or the suffix-free name Appalachian Moving & Storage on the official register. Could not confirm any entity records, statuses, IDs, entity types, dates, registered agents, officers, addresses, record URLs, or source dates because no official search results were accessible. No DBA search was performed because no DBA name was provided; the official page links to a separate Assumed Names search, but the business-entity search itself was blocked before submission. The register search was blocked: The official register's interactive search was blocked by a Cloudflare security verification page ('Performing security verification') before the search could be submitted and results read. A direct GET to the results endpoint returned only the blank search form, not search results.

The only permitted source is a directory page, not a government filing or consumer-review record; it does not verify a state-register or FMCSA relationship, shared people, ownership, succession, rebranding, or any consumer statement about succession or rebranding, and it prints no source date.

- CHECKS OUTActive federal household-goods authority (MC-673860)
FMCSA: ACTIVE; authorized for Motor Carrier of Household Goods; insurance filings on file.
Source: Captured FMCSA record · Captured FMCSA record · as of Oct 13, 2026
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.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 13, 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 13, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceWe 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 13, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filing on record1 cancelled or revoked insurance filing on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 6 filing records for these 5 filings; 1 later record on filings that had already ended is listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2025-03-13, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2025-03-20), 2 revocation or suspension orders (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2023-05-01, effective 2023-06-05; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2009-08-04, effective 2009-09-08), 2 authority actions with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (REINSTATED served 2012-05-21, disposition REVOKED decided 2023-06-05; GRANTED served 2009-04-21, disposition REVOKED decided 2009-09-08) and 2 reinstatements (served 2023-06-13, 2012-05-21). FMCSA's open data shows this USDOT's filing history only up to 2026-05-14: the legacy L&I files stopped updating that day, and the MOTUS files, which hold later changes, list no record for this USDOT. A filing change after 2026-05-14 was not available when checked.
- 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.
Company connections
Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 9, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.

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 13, 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 13, 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
