PROBLEM
Follow-up on a related business: partly established
The FMCSA record identifies U.S. DOT# 1434489 as CHAMPION MOVING & STORAGE at 100 OWENS ROAD, BROCKPORT, NY 14420.
The permitted source does not verify a separate state-register filing, shared people, an independent website, or any consumer statement about succession or rebranding; it also does not establish ownership beyond the registration details shown.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
USDOT 1434489: 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 1434489 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.
New York Department of State Corporation and Business Entity Database could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. No search for CHAMPION MOVING & STORAGE was actually submitted on the official register; therefore no conclusion about whether matching entities exist is made. The register's search form was readable in the fetched page and supports EntityName searches, BaseWord/Contains/BeginsWith matching, status filters, and entity-list filters, but the anti-bot challenge prevented interaction. No entity record page, DOS ID, status, entity type, formation date, registered agent, officers, address, or source/as-of date could be read or confirmed. Pagination/results completeness could not be evaluated because no results list was returned. The register search was blocked: The official register at https://apps.dos.ny.gov/publicInquiry/ was blocked by its TSPD/Imperva anti-bot challenge in the interactive browser (the page returned an empty body and a JavaScript challenge/support ID), so I could not submit the name search or read results.
ON RECORD
Follow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The Nextdoor page identifies Allied Van Lines as a permanently closed mover at 100 Owens Rd, Brockport, NY 14420, lists (585) 235-3500 and alliedvanlines.com, and does not establish a relationship with Champion Moving & Storage.
The permitted source contains no state-register or FMCSA filing, shared-person information, Champion Moving & Storage information, succession or rebranding statement, or printed source date; therefore ownership, succession, rebranding, and the claimed connection remain unverified.
Follow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The permitted NYSMWA page lists “Champion Moving DBA Bold Moving & Storage” at 100 Owens Road, Brockport, NY 14420, with phone 1 585 235 3500 and champion-moving.com, but it does not establish the legal relationship to Champion Moving & Storage.
No state-register filing, FMCSA record, shared-person information, consumer statement about succession or rebranding, or source separately verifying Champion Moving & Storage was available under the mandatory one-page source restriction; the page itself prints no date. The page verifies only the directory listing and its displayed address, phone number, and website, not ownership, corporate succession, rebranding, or identity of people.
Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 0 reviews, 1 public complaints
BBB exposes no reviews. Public complaints 2024-01-01 to 2024-01-01 (BBB status counts: 1 unresolved; “answered” is not “resolved”). Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.
New York State Department of Transportation: active record, household-goods scope not shown
New York State Department of Transportation lists a record for this business as active (checked 10/10/2026). The record does not show whether it covers household goods.
An active state carrier record is not shown to be household-goods authority.
Before booking: For a move within the state, ask the company to confirm with the state that its authority covers household goods.
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.
10 trucks on file
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
No active federal authority captured. 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 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 10, 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
New York State Department of Transportation lists a record for this business as active (checked Oct 10, 2026). The record does not show whether it covers household goods; confirm household-goods authority with the state before an in-state move.
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
Google has an unknown number of reviews and Yelp has only 7 reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 7; star ratings differ by 0.7 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
Read these findings before booking or paying a deposit. Key evidence and the action to take are shown below.
Concern — verify before booking

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.
10
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

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 current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 10, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 471 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.
