1 consumer complaint filed with FMCSA in the last four years — 1 for holding goods hostage

What we found

Report assembled Oct 14, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. SERIOUS
    1 consumer complaint filed with FMCSA in the last four years — 1 for holding goods hostage

    FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database (via the Protect Your Move registry) — by year: 2025: 1 (registry data as of 09/25/2026). Categories: Hostage Goods 1. Separately, the registry reports a fleet snapshot of 15 trucks, 4 tractors, 0 trailers; this does not measure moves completed during the complaint period.

    Hostage-goods complaints mean customers told FMCSA this company held their belongings until they paid more than the estimate.

    Source: FMCSA Protect Your Move — complaint history · as of Oct 14, 2026

  2. SERIOUS
    Advertises 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, faq, licensing) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).

    Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 65377, MC FF-12495, MC-309540); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.

    Source: company website · as of Oct 9, 2026

  3. PROBLEM
    Says “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number

    “We are fully licensed and insured so you can have peace of mind”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.

    A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

    Source: company website · as of Oct 9, 2026

  4. PROBLEM
    Ratings disagree sharply between platforms

    Google 4.5★ (207 reviews) vs Yelp 2.7★ (46 reviews): a 1.8-star gap between platforms

    When one platform is glowing and another is not, the difference is the story — read both.

  5. COULD NOT VERIFY
    No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business

    We searched State household-goods mover registry on 09/02/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 65377.

    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.

  6. ON RECORD
    FMCSA investigation on record: 1 — most recent 12/06/2016 (Non-Ratable Review)

    12/06/2016 Non-Ratable Review. No FMCSA enforcement cases in the last six years.

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.

Interstate HHG carrier authority

The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.

What we checked

4 passed3 caution
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 14, 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 reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 14, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
  • State household-goods licence
    We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Sep 2, 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 ($1,000,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 14, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
  • Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record
    2 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. In each case FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 30 filing records for these 20 filings; 9 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 5 involuntary revocation actions (served 2021-04-29, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-06-08; served 2016-05-02, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2016-05-05; served 2015-05-12, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2015-05-18; served 2005-11-10, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2005-11-29; served 2004-07-06, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2004-08-06), 2 revocation or suspension orders (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2021-04-29, effective 2021-06-08; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2012-09-19, effective 2012-10-22), 3 authority actions with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2014-08-29, disposition REVOKED decided 2021-06-08; GRANTED served 1996-11-29, disposition REVOKED decided 2012-10-22; GRANTED served 1996-11-12, disposition REVOKED decided 2012-10-22) and 1 reinstatement (served 2013-03-01). 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
    Star ratings differ by 1.8 stars across Google, Yelp. Read reviews on each platform before relying on any single rating.
  • 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.

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.

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.

What does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.

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

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 Sep 2, 2026.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Sep 2, 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.

  • Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
  • Limitation: The originally supplied URL redirected to the current official Hawaii Business Express portal at hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov, which was used for the searches and record page.
  • Limitation: The record page does not display a distinct as-of or last-updated date; source_date is therefore null.
  • Limitation: The supplied address was 1044 Opule St., but the register prints 1043 OPULE ST for both principal and mailing address; only the register's address is reported.
  • Limitation: An active registered agent does not make a defaulted company active; the status word is the register's own.

Verified customer experience reports

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.
