  1. ON RECORD
    USDOT 1186580: no federal operating authority recorded

    SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The registration declares Intrastate Only (Non-HM) to FMCSA. This does not establish the business's advertised service area.

    For an interstate move, verify which carrier will perform the move and its operating authority. For an in-state move, check the applicable state licence.

  2. ON RECORD
    Not in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published

    USDOT 1186580 does not appear in FMCSA's Protect Your Move household-goods mover registry, so the National Consumer Complaint Database history is not published for it. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate movers only.

  4. ON RECORD
    Follow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself

    The only verified connection on the permitted page is that its West Virginia-to-Arizona mover listing identifies Dunbar Transfer at 134 Bel Aire Dr, Tornado, WV, with USDOT 1186580 and the telephone link (304) 722-1003.

    The permitted page does not establish a relationship with a separate business, state-register or FMCSA filing, shared people, a website, succession, or rebranding; its FMCSA details are page-reported rather than an official-government record, and no consumer statement about succession or rebranding appears on the page.

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.

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.

3 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    No active federal authority captured. 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
    An own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 14, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
  • State household-goods licence
    West Virginia does not license household-goods movers. West Virginia exempts household-goods carriers from Public Service Commission regulation, so no state mover licence exists. (Source last read Aug 20, 2026.)
  • 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.
  • Review ratings compared across sources
    Yelp has only 2 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 48; star ratings differ by 0.5 stars.
  • 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 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 13, 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.
No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 14, 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 14, 2026

Trucks
What does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
3
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.

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 companyNot listed in FMCSA's Protect Your Move mover registry, so no NCCDB complaint history is published for this USDOT number. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate household-goods movers only. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.

State household-goods licence

In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA.

West Virginia does not license household-goods movers, so there is no state mover licence for this company to hold.
West Virginia exempts household-goods carriers from Public Service Commission regulation, so no state mover licence exists.
Source: W. Va. Code § 24A-1-3(14): the commercial motor carrier chapter does not apply to “Common carriers or contract carriers engaged in the business of transporting household goods”. Unlike most exemptions in that section it carries no proviso preserving safety or insurance jurisdiction. Read the source (last read Aug 20, 2026; recorded for this company Oct 9, 2026).

  • Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
  • Limitation: The official record pages do not provide a separately labeled registered-agent field; registered_agent is therefore null rather than inferred from the notice-of-process information.
  • Limitation: The official record pages do not print an explicit status word or a record-specific as-of/last-updated date; status and source_date are therefore null. Termination reason and the 'Not in compliance.' notice are reported verbatim in notes.
