Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
What we found
Report assembled Oct 13, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 5 page(s) we read (home, about, pricing, faq, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 4114034, MC-1571983); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.

- NOTESays “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number
“Yes, Lake Movers is fully licensed and insured”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read. The state register shows Missouri Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Services active (checked 2026-10-09).
The licence was verified on the state register; the website itself gives no number to check.

- ON RECORDMissouri Secretary of State Business Entity Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official URL https://bsd.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/BESearch.aspx was reachable only as a security-verification page in the interactive session; the search form could not be used. No searches were performed for Lake Movers, LLC, LAKE MOVERS LLC, Lake Movers, or the suffix-free/partial variants. Because no results were accessible, no entity IDs, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, record URLs, or source dates could be confirmed. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare security verification (Turnstile/security-service challenge) at the official register prevented access to the search form, so no search could be submitted and no results or record pages could be read.

The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 13, 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 13, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceMissouri Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Services lists an active certificate (checked Oct 9, 2026).
- Federal BIPD insurance filing (dated record)On-file BIPD amount ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 13, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filing on record1 cancelled or revoked insurance filing on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 6 filing records for these 5 filings; 1 later record on filings that had already ended is listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2026-03-04, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2026-03-12), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2025-02-19, effective 2025-03-24), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2024-05-08, disposition REVOKED decided 2025-03-24) and 1 reinstatement (served 2025-03-26). 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.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesYelp has only 4 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 257; star ratings differ by 0.9 stars.
- 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 13, 2026
- Carrier operation
- Interstate
- 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 13, 2026
- Operating status
- ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 8
- 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. - 10
- 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
