SERIOUS
Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, faq, licensing, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 2893666, MC-972264); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.
1 consumer complaint filed with FMCSA in the last four years
FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database (via the Protect Your Move registry) — by year: 2024: 1 (registry data as of 09/25/2026). Categories: Loss and Damage 1, Claim Settlement 1. Separately, the registry reports a fleet snapshot of 30 trucks, 0 tractors, 0 trailers; this does not measure moves completed during the complaint period.
Follow-up on a related business: partly established
The FMCSA record identifies BIG BOY MOVERS LLC, doing business as EQUUS LONG DISTANCE, at 1827 S COUNTRY LN, LEHI, UT 84043, with telephone (801) 921-1402.
The permitted source does not verify a separate relationship with a business called Big Boy Movers (Lehi, UT), shared people, a state-register filing, a website, or any succession or rebranding claim; it also does not establish ownership beyond the listed legal and DBA names.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 09/03/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 2893666.
Ask for the current certificate number and exact licensed legal name, then verify them with the state. This search result does not establish that the company is unlicensed.
ON RECORD
Utah Division of Corporations Business Entity Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. No legal-name or DBA search could be submitted, including BIG BOY MOVERS LLC, Big Boy Movers, the other supplied legal-name variants, and EQUUS LONG DISTANCE. Because no results list was returned, completeness and the existence or nonexistence of matching Utah entities could not be confirmed. No entity record pages, entity numbers, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, source dates, or record URLs could be read. The register search was blocked: The official Utah Business Search was reachable, but its Search button remained disabled because the Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA did not render or provide a token in the browser session. Therefore no search was submitted and no results or entity records could be read.
ON RECORD
Follow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The Moving Command Center page identifies Big Boy Movers as its recommended moving company, says “We've partnered with Big Boy Movers,” and lists 801-921-1402, 910-876-6837, 877-706-6837, help@thebigboymovers.com, and thebigboymovers.com.
The permitted source does not verify a state registration, FMCSA record, shared people, address, ownership, or any succession/rebranding claim involving Big Boy Movers (Lehi, Utah); it also contains no consumer statement about succession or rebranding, and the displayed phone numbers and website were not independently corroborated here.
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.
Interstate HHG carrier authority
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
30 trucks on file
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
3 passed3 caution
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: carrier. 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
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 14, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
State household-goods licence
We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Sep 3, 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 BIPD insurance filing (dated record)
On-file BIPD amount ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 14, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record
3 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. In each case FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2020-12-14, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-01-19), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2016-11-23, effective 2016-12-27), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2016-10-13, disposition REVOKED decided 2016-12-27) and 1 reinstatement (served 2017-05-22). 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 differ by 1.7 stars across Google, Yelp. Read reviews on each platform before relying on any single rating.
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.

Authority statusWhat 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.
Interstate HHG carrier authorityWhat 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.
TrucksWhat does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
30
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

Safety ratingWhat 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.

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

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Sep 3, 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.

How current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 14, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 418 pieces of information across federal, state, review, and identity sources. Check each source's date for when its information was observed.
NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source. It does not mean the answer is good or bad.
