What we found

Report assembled Oct 10, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. CRITICAL
    No federal operating authority

    SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The website advertises interstate moves.

    It cannot legally perform the interstate household moves it advertises.

    Source: Captured FMCSA record · Captured FMCSA record · as of Oct 10, 2026

  2. SERIOUS
    Registered as intrastate-only, advertises interstate moves

    FMCSA carrier operation (MCS-150): Intrastate Only (Non-HM). The website says: “…We’ll still take care of it. Services and Storage Do you offer out of state moves? Currently, we do not offer moves that cross state lines.…”.

    It has told FMCSA it does not cross state lines. Any interstate move it sells is outside its registration.

    Source: SAFER snapshot · company website · as of Oct 10, 2026

  3. NOTE
    The website prints 2 different USDOT numbers

    We judged this business on USDOT 2193963 (EINSTEIN MOVING COMPANY LLC). The site also prints USDOT 3882313 (EINSTEIN MOVING COMPANY FL LLC) — no active authority.

    Ask which registration your move would be carried under, and get the USDOT number in writing on the estimate.

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

    USDOT 2193963 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.

Changes on the public record

Changes observed in this company's federal and state records during the last 90 days. Each entry shows when the change was observed.

  • Aug 21, 2026INFOFederal record address changed to 9200 BROWN LANE, AUSTIN, TX 78754. (8619 HONEYSUCKLE TRL, AUSTIN, TX, 78759 → 9200 BROWN LANE, AUSTIN, TX 78754)
  • Aug 21, 2026INFOFleet on record now 80 power unit(s), 182 driver(s). (0 units / 182 drivers → 80 units / 182 drivers)

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.

80 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

1 passed2 failed
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 10, 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
    The captured FMCSA record does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 10, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority; see the category-specific federal dockets. It does not determine eligibility for in-state moves or another operating carrier.
  • State household-goods licence
    Texas DMV (TxDMV) motor-carrier registry lists an active motor carrier certificate 006604158, valid through Sep 30, 2027 (checked Oct 11, 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
    Google has an unknown number of reviews and BBB has only 3 reviews, too few to compare with BBB's 3; star ratings differ by 1.2 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.

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 10, 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.
No — not shown in the captured recordObserved Oct 10, 2026
Operating status
What does this mean?This means the company's USDOT registration is active in the FMCSA database. It does NOT mean the company is authorized to operate as a federal interstate mover. See "Authority status" above for that. A carrier can have an ACTIVE USDOT registration but still not be authorized to do interstate moves.
ACTIVE
Trucks
What does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
80
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.
182
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.

Verified customer experience reports

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.
