What we found

Report assembled Oct 9, 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 9, 2026

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

    FMCSA carrier operation (MCS-150): Intrastate Only (Non-HM). The website says: “…to arrive. We also provide direct moving service on select interstate routes, including Phoenix and Las Vegas or Southern California.…”.

    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 9, 2026

  3. CAUTION
    Website and federal records list different addresses

    Website (observed 2026-09-03T22:16:45.431Z): 1024 E. Buckeye Road, Ste. 270-A, Phoenix, AZ 85034. FMCSA physical address (observed 2026-10-09T06:50:35.201Z): 19155 EAST K-FIELD ROAD, BLACK CANYON CITY, AZ 85324. FMCSA mailing address: PO BOX 1238, BLACK CANYON CITY, AZ 85324.

    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 9, 2026

  4. COULD NOT VERIFY
    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 1674022.

    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.

  5. ON RECORD
    Federal record: General Freight — not Household Goods

    Cargo on the FMCSA record: Passengers, USED FURNITURE. Household Goods is not checked, and the Household Goods operating authority is not active.

    Cargo declarations and operating authority are separate records. This checkbox alone does not establish which moves the company may perform.

    Source: SAFER snapshot · MOTUS · as of Oct 9, 2026

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

    USDOT 1674022 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.

    Source: FMCSA Protect Your Move search · as of Oct 9, 2026

  7. CHECKS OUT
    BBB rating A+ (not accredited)

    BBB profile on file.

    A BBB letter grade is BBB's own assessment; it is not an endorsement, a licence check or a clearance of the company.

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.

2 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

2 caution2 failed
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 9, 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 9, 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
    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 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.
  • 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.

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 9, 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 9, 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.
2
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.
2
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.
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. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Sep 3, 2026.

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.

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.

How current is this report?

Report assembled Oct 9, 2026. First published Sep 3, 2026. This report pulls from 338 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.
