Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
What we found
Report assembled Sep 3, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, pricing, licensing, 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, and we could not identify the carrier that performs these moves. This does not show that the company operates without authority; ask for the legal name and USDOT and MC numbers of the carrier that will carry your move, and check them.

- PROBLEMOffers moves across state lines; no federal registration located for it
Its website says “Moving Move into your new apartment Learn More Long Distance Moving We’ve moved thousands across the country Learn More See All Moving Services Reasons to move with us Chicago Movi”. A name search of the free federal registries (SAFER, MOTUS) returned 4 registrations; none matched this business's phone, email, or name and city.
This does not show that the company operates without authority: a move across state lines can be performed under another company’s registration. Before booking one, ask for the exact legal name and the USDOT and MC numbers of the carrier that will perform it, and proof of its insurance for the move, and check them.

- ON RECORDIdentified by its own website — no USDOT number displayed
We read 6 pages of chicagolocalmoving.com. The site prints phone (773) 492-2322 and address 3432 W. Diversey Ave., Chicago, IL 60647 and describes its own moving services, advertises local moves, advertises long-distance moves, advertises interstate moves, states it is licensed and insured, prints a state licence number. No USDOT or MC number appears on it. A name search of the free federal registries (SAFER, MOTUS) returned 4 registrations; none matched this business's phone, email, or name and city.
It advertises interstate moves without a federal registration we could confirm — see the federal findings on this page.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Authority not determined. 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 authorityWe have not been able to confirm interstate household-goods carrier authority. 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 licenceNot checked for this profile.
- Federal insurance statusNo federal registration was matched to this company, so no federal insurance filing could be read. 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.
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.
