What we found

Report assembled Oct 14, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. SERIOUS
    Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read

    None of the 4 page(s) we read (home, about, pricing, 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 87821, MC-120905); 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.

    Source: company website · as of Oct 14, 2026

  2. CAUTION
    Website and federal records list different addresses

    Website (observed 2026-10-14T02:31:36.795Z): 5921 A-Gulf Tech Dr., Ocean Springs, MS 39564. FMCSA physical address (observed 2026-10-14T02:31:36.818Z): 6701 SUNPLEX DRIVE WEST, OCEAN SPRINGS, MS 39564. FMCSA mailing address: PO BOX 629, OCEAN SPRINGS, MS 39566-0629.

    Different branches, a relocation, or different reporting dates may explain the difference. Confirm the current operating office and the location handling your move.

    Source: company website · federal address record · as of Oct 14, 2026

  3. COULD NOT VERIFY
    No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business

    We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 87821.

    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.

  4. NOTE
    FMCSA's mover registry and captured registration disagree on household-goods carrier or broker authority

    Protect Your Move (registry data as of 09/25/2026): "F & S MOVING & STORAGE, INC. (U.S. DOT# 87821) is NOT authorized by FMCSA to transport or arrange the transportation of Household Goods.". Captured SAFER/MOTUS record: household-goods carrier or broker authority active (MC120905 Motor Carrier of Household Goods — Active; MC120905 Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods) — Active).

    Check the dated FMCSA records before relying on this authority category.

  7. ON RECORD
    Mississippi Secretary of State Business Search could not be checked in this report

    The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official register's search form was accessible, but the submitted search request was denied by Cloudflare with a 403 block page. Because no result set was returned, the supplied legal-name variants could not be searched separately or compared, and no official record page, entity ID, status, formation date, registered agent, officers, address, or source date could be confirmed. Pagination and completeness of search results could not be assessed because the results list never loaded. The register search was blocked: The official Mississippi Secretary of State Business Search page loaded, but submitting the business-name search was blocked by the site's Cloudflare security service (HTTP 403) at the official BusinessNameSearch endpoint; no search results could be read.

  8. CHECKS OUT
    Active federal household-goods authority (MC-120905)

    FMCSA: ACTIVE; authorized for Motor Carrier of Household Goods; Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods); insurance filings on file.

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.

Interstate HHG carrier authority

The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.

24+ years online

How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

4 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 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 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.
  • Involuntary revocation actions on record
    No cancelled or revoked insurance filings were identified in the records reviewed. FMCSA’s files hold 9 filing records for these 5 filings; 4 later records on filings that had already ended are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 2 involuntary revocation actions (served 2021-04-29, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-06-08; served 2005-11-07, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2005-11-22).
  • Address and operating-location evidence
    Website and federal records list different addresses. See the dated sources and address roles below; these signals alone do not establish improper operation.

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 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.

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.

State business entity record

Mississippi Secretary of State Business Search · checked Oct 9, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.

Mississippi Secretary of State Business Search was not available when checked on Oct 9, 2026. Registration status is unverified.

  • Limitation: The official register's search form was accessible, but the submitted search request was denied by Cloudflare with a 403 block page.
