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.
23+ years online
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 19, 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 does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 19, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority; see the category-specific federal dockets. It does not determine eligibility for in-state moves or another operating carrier.
- State household-goods licenceArizona does not license household-goods movers. Arizona does not license or register household-goods movers. (Source last read Aug 20, 2026.)
- Federal insurance statusThese amounts belong to inactive federal authority dockets. They do not confirm current liability or cargo coverage. As observed Oct 19, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record3 cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. One cancellation left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (CARGO cancelled 2010-10-22, next filing effective 2011-02-15). For 1 of them FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. For 1 of them, whether coverage continued cannot be judged from the files: FMCSA’s active/pending file, frozen 2026-05-14 like the history file, still lists the same filing as active (BIPD cancelled 2026-03-04, listed as active, posted 2026-02-06). FMCSA’s files hold 12 filing records for these 9 filings; 2 later records on filings that had already ended and 1 replacement record dated the filing’s own effective date are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 2 involuntary revocation actions (served 2026-02-05, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2026-02-09; served 2025-03-31, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2025-04-08), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2010-09-27, effective 2010-11-01), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2010-07-16, disposition REVOKED decided 2010-11-01) and 1 reinstatement (served 2011-03-08). 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.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesStar ratings differ by 1.5 stars across Yelp, BBB. Read reviews on each platform before relying on any single rating.
- 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. - No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 19, 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. - No — not shown in the captured recordObserved Oct 19, 2026
- Operating status
What does this mean?
This means the company's USDOT registration is active in the FMCSA database. It does NOT mean the company is authorized to operate as a federal interstate mover. See "Authority status" above for that. A carrier can have an ACTIVE USDOT registration but still not be authorized to do interstate moves. - INACTIVE
- 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. - 9
- 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.
State household-goods licence
In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA.
Arizona does not license household-goods movers, so there is no state mover licence for this company to hold.
Arizona does not license or register household-goods movers.
