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).
You cannot look this company up from its own website. That is the point.

- State household-goods licenceWe searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Sep 4, 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.

FMCSA regulatory snapshot
- Authority status
What does this mean?
"Authority" is the FMCSA permission to operate as a federal interstate carrier. NOT AUTHORIZED / INACTIVE means the carrier cannot legally accept interstate moves under federal rules. ACTIVE means they have permission to operate. - AUTHORIZED FOR: Motor Carrier of Household Goods
- Carrier operation
- Interstate
- Authorized for HHG
What does this mean?
"HHG" stands for Household Goods, the federal category covering home moves. A carrier without HHG authority is not allowed to move home contents across state lines under federal law. - Yes
- 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
What does this mean?
FMCSA flagged the insurance status as "Pending", meaning a coverage or cancellation event is in process at the agency. Check the Insurance & authority history card for the specific filings. - Pending insurance cancellation may exist
- 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 companyFactual fields are blocked or not visible. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.

Reviews and complaints — every platform we check
Each platform is shown whether or not this company has a listing. “No listing found” means we searched by name and city and nothing matched — it is a fact, not a rating.
What the reviews show
20 reviews read across TrustpilotThe website says 195,112 reviews. We could read 18,317 (Yelp 1, Trustpilot 18316); Google could not be counted, so this is not the company’s total.
- WEAKGoogle 4.9★ (review count not shown) vs Yelp 1.0★ (1 review): a 3.9-star gap between platforms — Google and Yelp rest on fewer than 10 reviews, so the gap is not a reliable signal (all platforms, n=1)
- WEAKThe website claims 195112 reviews without naming a platform; we could read a review count on 2 of the four platforms we check — Trustpilot 18316 and Yelp 1. Google’s listing was found but showed no review count, so we cannot say how many reviews this company has across platforms and the claim is neither confirmed nor contradicted (all platforms, n=18316)
- WEAK20 of the 20 dated Trustpilot reviews we read were posted on the same day (2026-09-03); Trustpilot shows 18316 reviews in total for this business, so several on one day is within its pace (Trustpilot, n=20)
