College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving
Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
What we found
Report assembled Oct 14, 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, 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).
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 “Our nationwide locations offer hourly moving services like packing, furniture staging, vehicle loading, and unloading to help with every part of your home, apartment, or business…” (captured 2026-10-14). A name search of the free federal registries (SAFER, MOTUS) returned 55 registrations; the 4 closest by name were compared with this business's phone, email, and name and city, and none matched. The other 51 were not compared.
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.

- COULD NOT VERIFYNo State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name.
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 RECORDIdentified by its own website — no USDOT number displayed
We read 6 pages of collegehunkshaulingjunk.com. The site prints phone (833) 626-1326 and address 4411 W Tampa Bay Blvd., Tampa, FL 33614 and describes its own moving services, advertises local moves, advertises long-distance moves, advertises interstate moves. No USDOT or MC number appears on it. A name search of the free federal registries (SAFER, MOTUS) returned 55 registrations; the 4 closest by name were compared with this business's phone, email, and name and city, and none matched. The other 51 were not compared.
It advertises interstate moves without a federal registration we could confirm — see the federal findings on this page.

- ON RECORDGeorgia Secretary of State eCorp Business Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The search results for 'College Hunks Hauling Junk' could not be read because of the Cloudflare security verification challenge. Because the register became blocked before results could be read, the other requested names and variants ('College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving', 'CHHJ Franchising LLC', and suffixless variants) were not searched or confirmed. No entity record page was accessible, so entity names, control numbers, entity types, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, source dates, and record URLs could not be confirmed. Pagination and completeness of the result set could not be assessed because no result list was made available. The register search was blocked: After the search was submitted on the official Georgia Secretary of State eCorp Business Search, the site presented a Cloudflare security verification page and did not expose the search results or record pages. This prevented reading the results.
- ON RECORDFollow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The cited article identifies College HUNKS Hauling Junk and Moving BucksMont as a local franchise that uses NationalAccounts@CHHJ.com to connect people outside Bucks and Montgomery counties with the nearest CHHJ franchise, but it does not establish a specific relationship with the Hammond, Louisiana business.
The permitted source does not report state-register or FMCSA filings, shared people, addresses, websites, consumer statements about succession or rebranding, or evidence that the Hammond, Louisiana business and BucksMont share ownership; those points remain unverified.

What kind of company is this?
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.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- 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 authorityThe 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 licenceWe searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 14, 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 insurance statusWe 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 sourcesStar ratings are within 0.7 stars of each other across 3 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.
Company connections
Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 9, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.
Follow-up on unresolved leads
Each question below was checked against further sources on Oct 14, 2026. The conclusion states only what those sources establish; what remains unverified is stated beside it.

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. - Active federal authority: carrierObserved Oct 14, 2026
- Carrier operation
- Interstate
- 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. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 14, 2026
- Operating status
- ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 8
- Drivers
What does this mean?
Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered. - 14
- Insurance status
- —
- Safety rating
What 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 companyNo visible complaint data available on the official source page. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.

- Operating authority dockets
- ActiveMC1053812Motor Carrier of 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.

In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 14, 2026.
