PROBLEM
Another business, “PROSHRED SECURITY”, shares the phone number printed on this company’s website, (216) 663-8976
A Yelp listing for “PROSHRED SECURITY” shows the phone number printed on this company’s website, (216) 663-8976. Excerpt: “More info about Proshred Security. 23800 Corbin Dr. Cleveland, OH 44128. Directions. (216) 663-8976. Call Now. More businesses like Proshred Security.”
A shared identifier shows a connection; it does not establish common ownership, succession or responsibility. The corporate relationship is not verified.
The same phone number listed for two business names is a connection worth understanding before you book.
Before booking: Ask the company what its relationship is to “PROSHRED SECURITY” and make sure the name on your contract is the company you expect.
Follow-up on a related business: partly established
The FMCSA record identifies U.S. DOT 3127915 as MIDFITZ INC., doing business as BERMAN MOVING & STORAGE, at 23800 CORBIN DR, Bedford Heights, Ohio, with telephone (216) 663-8816 and fax (216) 663-8976, but it does not establish a relationship to a separate Cleveland business.
Within the mandated FMCSA source only, no state-register filing, shared person, website, succession or rebranding statement, or consumer statement was verified; the source labels 216-663-8976 as a fax rather than a telephone number, and it does not identify the ownership or relationship of any separate Berman Moving & Storage business in Cleveland.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 3127915.
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.
ON RECORD
USDOT 3127915: 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.
Not in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 3127915 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.
Ohio Secretary 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 was successfully submitted and no official result list was obtained for MidFitz, MIDFITZ INC, Berman Moving & Storage, BERMAN MOVING & STORAGE, or AWGI LLC. No entity record pages could be opened, so entity numbers, types, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, source dates, and record URLs could not be confirmed. Because the official search results were not readable, completeness across exact, partial, prior-name, and inactive-status matches could not be established. The register search was blocked: The official Ohio Secretary of State Business Search at https://businesssearch.ohiosos.gov/ was blocked by a Cloudflare security check in the interactive session (the page displayed 'This page conducts a brief security check before proceeding' and never presented the search form). The register's published endpoint configuration was readable, but its API host (businesssearchapi.ohiosos.gov) could n
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.
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.
18+ years online
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.
14 trucks on file
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
1 caution
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 14, 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 14, 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
We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 13, 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 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
Yelp has only 6 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 63; star ratings differ by 1.1 stars.
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.
Serious concerns and company connections

The sources read did not establish an answer.

FMCSA regulatory snapshot
Authority statusWhat 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.
Carrier operationWhat 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 authorityWhat 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.
TrucksWhat does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
14
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

Safety ratingWhat 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.
In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 13, 2026.
We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 13, 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.
State business entity record

How current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 14, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 536 pieces of information across federal, state, review, and identity sources. Check each source's date for when its information was observed.
NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source. It does not mean the answer is good or bad.
