What we found

Report assembled Oct 9, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. SERIOUS
    BBB rating F — not accredited

    Failure to respond to 2 complaint(s) filed against business - 3 complaint(s) filed against business.

    Source: BBB profile · as of Oct 9, 2026

  2. PROBLEM
    Driver out-of-service rate 20% vs 6.67% national average

    1 of 5 driver inspections in the last 24 months ended with the driver placed out of service (as of 10/07/2026).

    Source: SAFER snapshot · as of Oct 9, 2026

  3. PROBLEM
    Only free-mail business addresses captured on the examined pages

    happyhousemovers@gmail.com — the examined pages did not provide a mailbox on the company's own domain (happyhousemovers.com). Other pages or mailboxes were not ruled out.

    Source: company website · as of Oct 9, 2026

  4. PROBLEM
    Says “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number

    “Licensed & Insured”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.

    A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

    Source: company website · as of Oct 9, 2026

  5. CAUTION
    Website and federal records list different addresses

    Website (observed 2026-10-09T04:56:33.536Z): 44711 S Grimmer Blvd #B, Fremont, CA 94538. FMCSA physical address (observed 2026-10-09T06:50:56.841Z): 6334 MARKET AVE, NEWARK, CA 94560-4036. FMCSA mailing address: 6334 MARKET AVE, NEWARK, CA 94560-4036.

    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

  6. ON RECORD
    USDOT 3390659: no federal operating authority recorded

    SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The registration declares Intrastate Only (Non-HM) to FMCSA. This does not establish the business's advertised service area.

    For an interstate move, verify which carrier will perform the move and its operating authority. For an in-state move, check the applicable state licence.

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

    Cargo on the FMCSA record: General Freight. 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

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

    USDOT 3390659 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.

What kind of company is this?

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.

5+ years online

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

6 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

1 passed1 caution
  • 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
    An own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 9, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
  • State household-goods licence
    We could not complete the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS) lookup (checked Sep 2, 2026). This is a gap in our check, not a finding about the company.
  • 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
    Star ratings are within 0.2 stars of each other across 2 review sources, each with at least 10 reviews.
  • 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.
Not applicable to the recorded role or in-state scopeObserved Oct 9, 2026

Trucks
What does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
6
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.

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. We tried to read California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS) on Sep 2, 2026.

We could not complete the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS) lookup (last attempt Sep 2, 2026). This is a gap in our check, not a finding about the company.

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.

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.
