What kind of company is this?

Broker + Carrier

The captured federal record lists broker and carrier roles. Registration alone does not establish current authority. Confirm in writing which company 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.

144 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

4 passed1 caution1 failed
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    Active federal authority: carrier and broker and freight forwarder. 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.
  • Federal broker authority
    The captured record reports active broker authority: arranging transportation, not hauling goods as the carrier. Observed Oct 14, 2026.
  • State household-goods licence
    We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 9, 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 ($6,000,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($5,000,000). 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. One cancellation left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (SURETY cancelled 2014-01-08, next filing effective 2015-01-09). For 1 of them FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. For 1 of them, whether coverage continued cannot be judged from the files: FMCSA’s own later record of the same filing is dated after the cancellation (BIPD/EXCESS cancelled 2023-04-08, later record dated 2024-12-31). FMCSA’s files hold 26 filing records for these 22 filings; 2 later records on filings that had already ended and 2 replacement records dated the filing’s own effective date are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2023-03-13, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2023-03-22), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2023-01-31, effective 2023-03-06), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 1972-08-31, disposition REVOKED decided 2023-03-06) and 1 reinstatement (served 2023-03-10). 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.
  • 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.

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.

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 9, 2026.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 9, 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 14, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 513 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.
