ON RECORD
Pennsylvania Department of State Business Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. No search was submitted for Dorm Room Movers, LLC, DORM ROOM MOVERS LLC, or Dorm Room Movers because the official register was blocked by its security verification challenge. The register's entity records, statuses, IDs, entity types, dates, agents, officers, addresses, record URLs, and source dates could not be read or confirmed. Pagination and completeness of search results could not be assessed because no results page was reached. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare Security Verification Required blocked access to the official Pennsylvania Business Search in the interactive session before a search could be submitted or results read. The official page displayed a security-check screen stating that verification was required.

What kind of company is this?

Broker

The captured federal record lists a broker role: arranging transportation. It does not establish current authority or truck ownership. Confirm which carrier will haul your goods.

Intrastate operation reported

The captured federal record reports in-state operation. This is a declared operating scope, not verification of a state license. See the separate licensing checks.

What we checked

3 passed1 caution1 failed

Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: broker. Observed Oct 13, 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
An own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 13, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
Federal broker authority
The captured record reports active broker authority: arranging transportation, not hauling goods as the carrier. Observed Oct 13, 2026.
State household-goods licence
We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 13, 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 status
We 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.
Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record
4 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. 2 cancellations left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (SURETY cancelled 2025-09-30, the last record of a filing first recorded cancelled 2024-10-30, next filing effective 2025-10-01; SURETY cancelled 2023-09-30, next filing effective 2023-10-01). For 2 of them FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 16 filing records for these 9 filings; 6 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 6 involuntary revocation actions (served 2024-10-03, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2024-10-04; served 2020-09-04, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2020-09-16; served 2017-09-14, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2017-10-02; served 2013-09-04, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2013-10-04; served 2013-06-17, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2013-06-27; served 2012-06-15, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2012-07-13), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2025-09-03, effective 2025-10-06), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2012-03-30, disposition REVOKED decided 2025-10-06) and 1 reinstatement (served 2025-11-12). 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 are within 0.4 stars of each other across 2 review sources, each with at least 10 reviews.
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.

Company connections

Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 13, 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.

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: brokerObserved Oct 13, 2026
Carrier operation What does this mean? This carrier is registered to operate only within one state. Federal interstate authority does not apply to intrastate-only carriers, which is why federal insurance and authority status fields may show as "Not Specified" or "Not Authorized.": Intrastate Only (Non-hazardous materials)
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.: Not applicable to the recorded role or in-state scopeObserved Oct 13, 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.: 0
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.: 0
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): No consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four yearsBy year: none in the last four years · registry data as of Sep 25, 2026 · FMCSA complaint history
Physical address: 5111 N. SCOTTSDALE RD STE 200, SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85250
Operating authority dockets: ActiveMC746975Broker 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.

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 Oct 13, 2026.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 13, 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.
