What we found

Report assembled Oct 15, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. ON RECORD
    USDOT 840663: no federal operating authority recorded

    SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The registration declares Intrastate Only (Non-HM) to FMCSA. This does not establish the business's advertised service area.

    For an interstate move, verify which carrier will perform the move and its operating authority. For an in-state move, check the applicable state licence.

  2. ON RECORD
    Not in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published

    USDOT 840663 does not appear in FMCSA's Protect Your Move household-goods mover registry, so the National Consumer Complaint Database history is not published for it. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate movers only.

    Texas Comptroller Franchise Tax Account Status: BAY AREA MOVERS, INC. — “ACTIVE”

    Texas Comptroller Franchise Tax Account Status lists BAY AREA MOVERS, INC. (0133958400) with status “ACTIVE”, formed 1995-01-03. Registered agent: [name withheld]. Officers/managers listed: [name withheld] (DIRECTOR); [name withheld] (PRESIDENT). A business registration is not a mover licence.

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.

Intrastate operation reported

The captured federal record reports in-state operation. This is a declared operating scope, not verification of a state license. See the separate licensing checks.

25+ years online

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

5 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

2 passed
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 15, 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
    An own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 15, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
  • State household-goods licence
    Texas DMV (TxDMV) motor-carrier registry lists an active motor carrier certificate 006063161, valid through Dec 31, 2027 (checked Oct 13, 2026).
  • Federal insurance status
    We do not have a consistent, dated insurance amount observation matched to this company’s USDOT. This is a verification gap, not a finding that the company is uninsured.
  • Review ratings compared across sources
    Star ratings are within 1.0 stars of each other across 2 review sources, each with at least 10 reviews.
  • 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.
No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 15, 2026
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)
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.
Not applicable to the recorded role or in-state scopeObserved Oct 15, 2026
Operating status

Trucks
What does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
5
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.

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 companyNot listed in FMCSA's Protect Your Move mover registry, so no NCCDB complaint history is published for this USDOT number. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate household-goods movers only. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.

How it was tied to this business
By the exact name and an officer or owner named on this company’s records.
  • Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
  • Limitation: The register's record page does not print an entity-type field, so entity_type is null.
  • Limitation: The register does not label a field 'formation date'; it prints 'Effective SOS Registration Date' (01/03/1995), which is reported as the registration date.
  • Limitation: The mailing address shown on the record is in Alvin; the Pearland address is printed separately as the registered office street address, not as the mailing address.
  • Limitation: Separate searches were submitted for Bay Area Movers, Inc; BAY AREA MOVERS INC; Bay Area Movers; and the suffix-free form Bay Area Movers. The register returned the one matching result for the punctuated and suffix-free partial searches; the exact unpunctuated 'BAY AREA MOVERS INC' and 'Bay Area Mov
