Not verified: Yelp review records; Trustpilot review records. Verified findings: Active federal household-goods authority (MC-807903) · Active New Jersey mover licence 39PM00107800 (Moving Only), valid to September 30, 2027 · BBB rating A+ (accredited)
What we found
Report assembled Oct 10, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- NOTEFederal household-goods authority was revoked in October 2014 after an insurance cancellation notice and reinstated in July 2016
FMCSA's daily Register lists the following for MC-807903, BIG G MOVERS INC: application listed with date 11/19/2012 (Register of 2012-12-19); MC-807903-C and MC-807903-P listed under 'Certificates, Permits & Licenses Filed After January 1, 1995' with published date 12/19/2012 (Register of 2013-01-07). Under Revocation Actions: NOTICE on 2014-09-18, REVOCATION on 2014-10-21 and REINSTATEMENT on 2016-07-15 (address then South Plainfield, NJ); NOTICE on 2016-10-05 followed by DISCONTINUANCE on 2016-10-11; NOTICE on 2017-09-28 followed by DISCONTINUANCE on 2017-10-23 (address Metuchen, NJ). The Register explains that a notice is issued when an insurer reports that a policy will be cancelled, and that authority is revoked if compliance is not shown within 30 days. MOTUS dates the current MC807903 authority record 2020-10-16 without giving a reason.
These are historical insurance-compliance actions. They do not show that the company moved goods across state lines while revoked. Authority was active, with insurance on file, when checked on 2026-10-09. Two targeted searches found no Register entry for 2018-2020, but search coverage of Register files is partial and FMCSA's authority-history page required a challenge question, so the 2020 date remains unexplained.
From October 2014 to July 2016 the company did not hold active federal household-goods authority.
Before booking: Close to an interstate move date, confirm on FMCSA that MC-807903 is active and has insurance on file.

- NOTEGoogle rating 4.9 from 556 reviews; the ten reviews rated 1 to 3 stars include tipping, billing and damage complaints, several disputed by the company
Google showed 4.9 from 556 reviews, of which 542 were 5-star, 4 were 4-star, 3 were 3-star, 2 were 2-star and 5 were 1-star (captured 2026-10-09 06:16 UTC). On 2026-10-09 we read the 20 lowest-rated reviews, which include all ten rated 1 to 3 stars (posted 2017-12-24 to 2025-11-02), and the 60 newest (2025-07-30 to 2026-09-26; 59 five-star, one 3-star): 73 different reviews. Four low reviews say the owner or crew demanded, set or added tips (2021-11-24, 2024-07-22, 2025-04-28, 2025-06-10); two describe a higher bill than the quoted basis on moving day (2018-04-14, 2021-11-24); two describe damage (a load-only job in 2022-09-27; a painting found damaged in a storage unit months after a 2024 move, reviewed 2025-04-28); one (2025-11-02, 3 stars) alleges that a mover took a rug. Other low reviews concern a rude supervisor (2017), a price the reviewer thought too high (2021) and one with no details (2023). The company replied to 8 of the 10, disputing the accounts; in five replies it said it had no record of the reviewer as a customer or that the reviewer described another company. The 60 newest reviews describe careful, punctual crews, repeat customers and moves including New Jersey to North Carolina (2026-03-20) and to Brooklyn and Queens (2026-04-24); the company replied to 59 of them.
These are customers' accounts, not findings of fact, and the company disputes several. The samples are the lowest-rated and newest reviews, not a random sample of all 556. A few complaints over nine years cannot establish a pattern, and the ratings distribution alone says nothing about authenticity. Yelp review text could not be read (Yelp shows 4.6 from 48), BBB shows no reviews, and no Trustpilot listing was found.
Most reviewers report good experiences; the low-rated accounts point to tipping and billing expectations as issues to settle in advance.
Before booking: Get the price basis (flat rate or hourly, minimums, overtime) in writing before the move, and treat tips as optional.

- NOTENo court or enforcement action against the company or its listed officers was found in the sources searched; New Jersey state courts were not searched
FMCSA's safety system shows no enforcement cases for USDOT 2358159 (as of 2026-10-08, saved 2026-10-09). On 2026-10-09 CourtListener returned no opinions for "Big G Movers" and one federal docket, the Delaware bankruptcy of Kabbage Inc. d/b/a KServicing (22-10951), where the name appears only in a mailing or creditor list; no case names BIG G MOVERS INC as a party, and that list entry was not tied to this company by address. A CourtListener search for the surname of the company's officers returned 29 dockets and 15 opinions; none names either officer or the company. A government-pages search returned only FMCSA listings. Earlier FTC and state attorney-general searches (2026-09-01 and 2026-09-02) found no attributable match.
This is a limitation of this report, not a finding that no lawsuits, judgments or enforcement actions exist. CourtListener's federal docket coverage is incomplete, and New Jersey state court records were not searched. New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs complaint records were not requested.
If court history matters for your move, search New Jersey Courts' public case search for BIG G MOVERS INC before booking.

- ON RECORDA second federal registration, USDOT 9305295, opened in May 2026 under the same company name, officer, phones and D&B number; its household-goods authority is pending
FMCSA's MOTUS record for USDOT 9305295 (read 2026-10-09) was created 2026-05-19 for legal name Big G Movers INC at 26 Oliver St Ste 1, Metuchen, NJ 08840-1769, with phones (855) 937-2444 and (848) 218-1485, email info@biggmoversinc.com, the same president of record as USDOT 2358159, and D&B number 51042029, the same D&B number that MOTUS and SAFER show for USDOT 2358159. Its USDOT status is Active; its only operating authority, household goods docket MC95510656, is Pending (protest period from 2026-05-19), and it has no insurance filings. SAFER (data as of 10/07/2026) shows USDOT 9305295 NOT AUTHORIZED, with 5 power units, 12 drivers, no MCS-150 date and no inspections. The company's established registration, USDOT 2358159 with household-goods authority MC807903, is Active (MOTUS and SAFER, read 2026-10-09).
The records do not say why a second registration was opened in 2026. The fleet counts differ between the two records (7 power units and 4 drivers on USDOT 2358159). This report does not infer evasion or any wrongdoing.
USDOT 9305295 carries no operating authority today; the authorized registration is USDOT 2358159 / MC-807903.
Before booking: Make sure your estimate and bill of lading name BIG G MOVERS INC with USDOT 2358159 and MC-807903.

- ON RECORDCurrent federal insurance filings: policy TCP0003794, effective October 25, 2025, with no cancellation date
FMCSA's MOTUS record for MC807903 (read 2026-10-09) lists two filings under policy TCP0003794, both received 2025-10-20 and effective 2025-10-25, neither with a cancellation date: one with a $750,000 maximum, matching the $750,000 liability amount MOTUS lists as required and on file, and one with a $5,000 maximum. MOTUS also lists a blanket filing received 2012-11-19.
The public MOTUS response does not name the insurer or label the type of the $5,000 filing. The insurer, coverage types and full filing history are on FMCSA's Licensing and Insurance site, which required a challenge question on 2026-10-09 and was not read. Earlier insurance cancellations are listed in the authority-history finding; they do not show a current gap.
Required federal liability coverage is on file for the active authority.
Before booking: Ask for a certificate of insurance naming the insurer and policy, and confirm the valuation coverage offered for your goods.

- ON RECORD26 Oliver St, Suite 001, Metuchen is the business address on the federal, state-licence and Google records; the truck lot location is not stated
The NJ licence record (read 2026-10-09), FMCSA SAFER physical address (read 2026-10-09), and the Google listing (2026-10-09) all give 26 Oliver St, Suite 001, Metuchen, NJ 08840. FMCSA lists a separate mailing address, 17 Mark Circle, Metuchen. FMCSA Register entries list the company in South Plainfield, NJ through 2016-10-11 and in Metuchen from 2017-09-28. The website's overnight-storage page (read 2026-10-09) says goods can stay on its trucks on a locked, camera-monitored lot, without giving the lot's address, and a 2025 company reply on Google says it has no warehouse of its own.
No dated street imagery, property record or site visit was reviewed, so current occupancy and where trucks are parked are unverified. A suite in a multi-tenant building is not evidence of a false address.
Before booking: If your goods will stay on a truck overnight, ask where the lot is.

- CHECKS OUTActive New Jersey mover licence 39PM00107800 (Moving Only), valid to September 30, 2027
New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs register (read 2026-10-09) lists BIG G MOVERS INC, licence 39PM00107800, type Moving Only, status Active, expiring 9/30/2027, at 26 Oliver St Suite 001, Metuchen, NJ 08840, phone 855-937-2444. The same number is printed on the company's website (its licences page, captured 2026-08-29, and the site footer, captured 2026-10-09). The register also lists two older records for the company, 39PM00107806 and 39PM00107807, both of type Public Movers and Warehousemen and both expired 9/30/2024.
The current licence covers moving only, not warehouse storage. On Google (2025) the company wrote that it does not have its own storage warehouse and uses public storage facilities; its website also offers overnight storage of goods on its trucks. A licence does not establish service quality.
The company holds New Jersey's required licence for moving services.
Before booking: If your move involves storage, ask who will hold your goods, where, and under which licence.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 10, 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 reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 10, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceNew Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs lists an active certificate 39PM00107800 (checked Oct 9, 2026).
- Federal BIPD insurance filing (dated record)On-file BIPD amount ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 10, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesStar ratings are within 0.3 stars of each other across 2 review sources, each with at least 10 reviews.
- 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.
