What we found
Report assembled Oct 15, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- SERIOUS1 consumer complaint filed with FMCSA in the last four years — 1 for holding goods hostage
FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database (via the Protect Your Move registry) — by year: 2026: 1 (registry data as of 09/25/2026). Categories: Hostage Goods 1. Separately, the registry reports a fleet snapshot of 2 trucks, 0 tractors, 0 trailers; this does not measure moves completed during the complaint period.
Hostage-goods complaints mean customers told FMCSA this company held their belongings until they paid more than the estimate.

- COULD NOT VERIFYNo State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/10/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 1875922.
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.
- ON RECORDMaryland Business Express Entity Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official register landing/search page was readable, but the search could not be submitted because the site's Cloudflare Turnstile challenge did not produce a token. Because no search was submitted, no result list or entity record pages could be read or confirmed. The requested legal names and DBA were therefore not searched separately, and no conclusion about whether matching entities exist can be drawn. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA on the official Maryland Business Entity Search prevented the form submission: the required cf-turnstile-response remained empty and no search-results request was made.

What kind of company is this?
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.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 15, 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 authorityThe captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 15, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceWe searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 10, 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 ($1,000,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 15, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record10 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. 3 cancellations left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (CARGO cancelled 2025-09-28, next filing effective 2025-10-28; CARGO cancelled 2024-02-18, next filing effective 2024-02-28; BIPD cancelled 2021-06-20, next filing effective 2021-06-25). For 7 of them FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 16 filing records for these 15 filings; 1 later record on filings that had already ended is listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 5 involuntary revocation actions (served 2025-07-14, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2025-08-14; served 2023-04-12, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2023-05-10; served 2022-04-12, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2022-05-11; served 2021-05-28, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-06-29; served 2013-04-12, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2013-05-10), 5 revocation or suspension orders (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2025-09-02, effective 2025-10-06; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2024-01-22, effective 2024-02-26; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2023-10-03, effective 2023-11-20; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2021-06-28, effective 2021-08-02; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2021-04-12, effective 2021-05-17), 5 authority actions with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (REINSTATED served 2024-03-08, disposition REVOKED decided 2025-10-06; REINSTATED served 2023-12-08, disposition REVOKED decided 2024-02-26; REINSTATED served 2021-08-16, disposition REVOKED decided 2023-11-22; REINSTATED served 2021-05-28, disposition REVOKED decided 2021-08-02; GRANTED served 2011-05-12, disposition REVOKED decided 2021-05-17) and 5 reinstatements (served 2025-10-31, 2024-03-08, 2023-12-08, 2021-08-16, 2021-05-28). 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 evidenceProperty 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. - Active federal authority: carrierObserved Oct 15, 2026

- 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. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 15, 2026
