Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 3 page(s) we read (home, about, licensing) 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 2162841, MC-822854); 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.

Maine Secretary of State Corporate Name Search: LOCAL MUSCLE L.L.C. — “GOOD STANDING”
Maine Secretary of State Corporate Name Search lists LOCAL MUSCLE L.L.C. (20110413DC), LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY with status “GOOD STANDING”, formed 2010-08-12. Registered agent: [name withheld]. A business registration is not a mover licence.
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.
7 trucks on file
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
3 passed
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: carrier. 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
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 9, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
State household-goods licence
Maine does not license household-goods movers. Maine repealed its for-hire trucking certificates in 1981 and its Public Utilities Commission has no motor-carrier jurisdiction today. (Source last read Aug 20, 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 9, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
Review ratings compared across sources
Google has an unknown number of reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 48; star ratings differ by 1.2 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.

Authority statusWhat 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.

TrucksWhat does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
7
DriversWhat 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)
No consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four yearsBy year: none in the last four years · registry data as of Sep 25, 2026 · FMCSA complaint history
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.
Maine does not license household-goods movers, so there is no state mover licence for this company to hold.
Maine repealed its for-hire trucking certificates in 1981 and its Public Utilities Commission has no motor-carrier jurisdiction today.
Source: 35 M.R.S. ch. 93 (“Operating Trucks for Hire”), including § 1552 “Certificate required”, repealed by P.L. 1981, c. 469, § 54. Title 35-A, the current utilities title, contains no motor-carrier part. Read the source (last read Aug 20, 2026).
State business entity record
Maine Secretary of State Corporate Name Search · checked Oct 9, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.
Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
Limitation: The official search returned 1 to 1 of 1 result for LOCAL MUSCLE and 1 to 1 of 1 for LOCAL MUSCLE LLC; LOCAL MUSCLE MOVERS returned no matches.
Limitation: The free Information Summary does not print officers, directors, managers, or members, so officers is empty rather than inferred from the federal record or another source.
Limitation: The register identifies filing images as available for a fee ($3.00 per record), and additional long-form information is also paid; filing images were not purchased or used.
