SERIOUS
Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 5 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, pricing, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
The pages we examined did not provide a USDOT or MC number to check. Ask which registration would carry your interstate move.
Another business, “Cisco the Magician”, shares the phone number printed on this company’s website, (201) 878-8483
A web page for “Cisco the Magician” shows the phone number printed on this company’s website, (201) 878-8483. Excerpt: “Rating 5.0(12)Now I will bring the Vegas show to your next child's birthday event. For bookings call or e- mail me at 201-878-8483 or cardmagic25@yahoo.com · No photo ...”
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 “Cisco the Magician” and make sure the name on your contract is the company you expect.

No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/09/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 573343.
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
Not in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 573343 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.
Indiana Secretary of State INBiz Business Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. No official register results were returned or readable because CAPTCHA verification was required. The legal-name search for BUSY BEE MOVERS INC and the separate search for Busy Bee Movers could not be completed. Because no record page was reached, entity details, source URL, and source date could not be confirmed. The register search was blocked: A Google reCAPTCHA image challenge blocked submission of the search on the official Indiana INBiz Business Search at https://bsd.sos.in.gov/PublicBusinessSearch. The search form was filled with BUSY BEE MOVERS, but the register did not return results before CAPTCHA verification.
ON RECORD
Follow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The permitted GroomLocator page identifies Bff Petwash at 192 Driggs Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222, with phone 718-349-8705 and website bffpetwash.com, but it does not establish any relationship to Busy Bee Movers or the phone number 2018788483.
No state-register or FMCSA filing, shared person, Busy Bee Movers address or website, or consumer statement about succession or rebranding was verified because the only permitted source is the GroomLocator page; that page displays 718-349-8705 rather than 2018788483.
Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 2 reviews, 2 public complaints
Reviews 2026-02-15 to 2026-08-01. Public complaints 2024-12-11 to 2026-04-26 (BBB status counts: 2 answered; “answered” is not “resolved”). Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.
BBB complaints: 2 complaints in the last 3 years (1 closed in the last 12 months); types: Product Issues 1, Service or Repair Issues 1; status: 2 answered. Source observations: accreditation 2026-10-10T19:55:34.368Z; complaint count 2026-10-10T19:55:34.368Z; rating and review count 2026-10-10T19:55:34.368Z.
A BBB letter grade is BBB's own assessment; it is not an endorsement, a licence check or a clearance of the company.
Changes observed in this company's federal and state records during the last 90 days. Each entry shows when the change was observed.
Oct 14, 2026MEDIUMNew operating authority on record: MC279020 Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods) — Active.
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.
5 trucks on file
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
2 passed1 caution2 failed
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 19, 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
The captured FMCSA record does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 19, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority; see the category-specific federal dockets. It does not determine eligibility for in-state moves or another operating carrier.
State household-goods licence
We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 9, 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 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 19, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record
6 cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. 2 cancellations left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (CARGO cancelled 1999-04-05, next filing effective 2001-01-14; BIPD cancelled 1999-03-10, next filing effective 2001-01-14). For 4 of them FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 33 filing records for these 24 filings; 8 later records on filings that had already ended and 1 replacement record dated the filing’s own effective date are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 2 involuntary revocation actions (served 2008-02-04, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2008-03-03; served 2005-02-02, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2005-03-04), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 1999-04-05, effective 1999-03-10), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 1995-03-21, disposition REVOKED decided 1999-05-21) and 1 reinstatement (served 2001-02-07). FMCSA's open data shows this USDOT's filing history only up to 2026-05-14: the legacy L&I files stopped updating that day, and the MOTUS files, which hold later changes, list no record for this USDOT. A filing change after 2026-05-14 was not available when checked.
Review ratings compared across sources
Google has an unknown number of reviews and BBB has only 2 reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 105; star ratings differ by 3.1 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.

What is the relationship between this company and “Bff Petwash”, which shares its phone number (201) 878-8483?Partially resolved
Prompted by: https://groomlocator.com/groomers/new-york/brooklyn/bff-petwash-brooklyn-ny · checked Oct 10, 2026
The permitted GroomLocator page identifies Bff Petwash at 192 Driggs Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222, with phone 718-349-8705 and website bffpetwash.com, but it does not establish any relationship to Busy Bee Movers or the phone number 2018788483.
No state-register or FMCSA filing, shared person, Busy Bee Movers address or website, or consumer statement about succession or rebranding was verified because the only permitted source is the GroomLocator page; that page displays 718-349-8705 rather than 2018788483.
Observed fact: Bff Petwash — GroomLocator · retrieved Oct 10, 2026“Call [(718) 349-8705](tel:7183498705) to ask about your pet. They'll take it from there. ... [Visit website](http://www.bffpetwash.com/)”
What is the relationship between this company and “Cisco the Magician”, which shares its phone number (201) 878-8483?Unresolved
Prompted by: https://www.facebook.com/CiscoTheMagician/ · checked Oct 10, 2026
The sources read did not establish an answer.
No readable source was returned, so nothing was established. The permitted Facebook page could not be retrieved in this run, so the shared phone number, official filings, people, addresses, websites, and any consumer statements about succession or rebranding remain unverified.
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.
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.
5
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.
4
Insurance status
—
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.
ActiveMC279020Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods)
A company can hold several federal dockets over its lifetime. Only an Active docket grants operating authority. An inactive one is history, not a violation.
State household-goods licence
In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 9, 2026.
We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 9, 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
Indiana Secretary of State INBiz Business Search · checked Oct 10, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.

How current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 19, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 353 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.
