Advertises long-distance moves, prints no USDOT or MC number
What we found
Checked Sep 3, 2026 · every line links to its source- SERIOUSAdvertises long-distance moves, prints no USDOT or MC number
None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, pricing, faq, licensing) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
You cannot look this company up from its own website. That is the point.
