What we found

Checked Sep 3, 2026 · every line links to its source
  1. SERIOUS
    Advertises interstate moves, prints no USDOT or MC number

    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.

  2. COULD NOT VERIFY
    No FMCSA registration found for this business

    We searched FMCSA (SAFER + MOTUS) by name and checked the website phone (833) 626-1326; 55 same-name registration(s) did not match this business. The website advertises interstate moves.

    We could not verify any federal authority for the moves it sells. Treat it as unregistered until it produces its USDOT number.

  3. 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.

    It may operate under another legal name — or it may be unlicensed in-state. Ask for the certificate number.

  5. ON RECORD
    Identified 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. No federal registration matched this business by phone, email or name in the free registries (SAFER, MOTUS).

    It sells long-distance or interstate moves without a federal registration we could confirm — see the federal findings on this page.

Operating status

What the reviews show

20 reviews read across Trustpilot
We read 20 reviews across Trustpilot; nothing unusual in the pattern (1 weaker signal noted below).

The 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.

Distribution of the 20 reviews we read. Most businesses show mostly 5★ with a tail of 1★ — that shape alone means nothing.
  • WEAK
    Google 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)
  • WEAK
    The 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)
  • WEAK
    20 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)

    The 20 dated Trustpilot reviews we read span 1 day (2026-09-03 to 2026-09-03); the 5 closest together fall within 1 day (Trustpilot, n=20)
  • INFO
    95% of the reviews we read are 1★ or 5★ (n=20; 18 five-star, 1 one-star) — the usual shape of review distributions, noted for context (all platforms, n=20)
