What we found
Report assembled Oct 13, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- COULD NOT VERIFYNo TxDMV record found for this business
We searched TxDMV on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 4434661.
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 RECORDUSDOT 4434661: 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.

- ON RECORDNot in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 4434661 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.

Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)No active federal authority captured. 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 authorityAn own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 13, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
- State household-goods licenceWe searched Texas DMV (TxDMV) motor-carrier 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 statusWe 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.
- 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.

The federal carrier record and the matched Google business listing report the same business contact details. This confirms consistency between those records; it does not verify property use, occupancy or an operating facility.

- Google business listing · observed Sep 11, 2026
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 13, 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 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. - 2
- 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. - 2

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.
