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
  1. SERIOUS
    Advertises 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.

    Source: company website · as of Oct 13, 2026

  2. NOTE
    Says “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.

  3. ON RECORD
    No consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four years

    FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database shows no complaints against USDOT 4114034 in the last four years (registry data as of 09/25/2026).

    Source: FMCSA Protect Your Move — complaint history · as of Oct 13, 2026

  4. ON RECORD
    BBB has not rated this business — not accredited

    The BBB profile shows no letter grade (NR). Saved capture of 2026-09-02; this is not a current rating. On 2026-10-13 a bounded BBB search did not return this listing; that is not evidence the listing is gone. No visible reviews or complaints found on the page. The review and complaint sections were empty.

    Source: BBB profile · as of Sep 2, 2026

  5. ON RECORD
    Missouri 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.

  6. ON RECORD
    1 other business listed at this street address

    “LU LU Massage & Spa” (yelp). This is operating-location context: a multi-tenant building or suite shared with unrelated businesses.

    A shared street address alone does not indicate any corporate relationship; suite numbers and tenancy were not compared.

  7. CHECKS OUT
    Active federal household-goods authority (MC-1571983)

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.

Interstate HHG carrier authority

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

13+ years online

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

What we checked

4 passed1 caution
  • 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 authority
    The 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 licence
    Missouri 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 record
    1 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 sources
    Yelp has only 4 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 257; star ratings differ by 0.9 stars.
  • 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.

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.

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.

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 Missouri Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Services shows as of Oct 9, 2026.

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.
