What we found
Checked Sep 3, 2026 · every line links to its source- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves, prints no USDOT or MC number
None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, about, pricing, faq, 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).
You cannot look this company up from its own website. That is the point.

“ng-distance moves with professional crews and honest pricing. Locally Owned in Austin, TX Licensed & Insured We know Austin 4.9 Google Ratin”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.

What we checked
- Federally licensed (FMCSA)FMCSA shows authority as "NOT AUTHORIZED." This mover is not currently authorized to operate as a federal carrier.
- Federal interstate household-goods authorityThis carrier is registered with FMCSA as intrastate-only, so federal household-goods authority does not apply to in-state moves. It would need federal authority before performing an interstate move. State licensing governs in-state moves — see the state registry check.

FMCSA regulatory snapshot
- Authority status
What does this mean?
"Authority" is the FMCSA permission to operate as a federal interstate carrier. NOT AUTHORIZED / INACTIVE means the carrier cannot legally accept interstate moves under federal rules. ACTIVE means they have permission to operate. - NOT AUTHORIZED
- Carrier operation
What does this mean?
This carrier is registered to operate only within one state. Federal interstate authority does not apply to intrastate-only carriers, which is why federal insurance and authority status fields may show as "Not Specified" or "Not Authorized." - Intrastate Only (Non-hazardous materials)
- Authorized for HHG
What does this mean?
"HHG" stands for Household Goods, the federal category covering home moves. A carrier without HHG authority is not allowed to move home contents across state lines under federal law. - No
- 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. - ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 1
- 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. - 1
- 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
- DOT complaints (FMCSA)
- We could not verify complaints for this companyNo complaint references or counts found on the source page. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.

What the reviews show
0 reviews readThe website says 4.9★ from 250 reviews on Google. We could read 18 (Yelp 18, Trustpilot 0); Google, BBB could not be counted, so this is not the company’s total.
- WEAKThe website claims 4.9★ from 250 reviews on Google; Google could not be read (Google Maps answered with a list of businesses rather than this one. Google ratings are read through Google’s licensed Places API, which is not yet connected.), so we could not verify the claim (Google, n=0)
Verified customer experience reports
Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.
No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.
