- ON RECORDNot in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 87390 does not appear in FMCSA's Protect Your Move household-goods mover registry, so the National Consumer Complaint Database history is not published for it. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate movers only.

- ON RECORDIowa Secretary of State Business Entities Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official register search page was reached, but the submitted search was intercepted by a Cloudflare security-verification page rather than displaying results. No result list or entity record pages could be read, so matches, entity IDs, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, source URLs, and source dates could not be confirmed. The legal names MAHER BROS TRANSFER AND STORAGE INC and Maher Brothers Transfer & Storage could not be separately searched and verified because the register became blocked at submission. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare security verification on the official Iowa Secretary of State search (https://sos.iowa.gov/search/business/Search.aspx) blocked access after the search form was submitted; no results could be read.
What kind of company is this?
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.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier and broker. 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 authorityThe captured FMCSA record does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 9, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority; see the category-specific federal dockets. It does not determine eligibility for in-state moves or another operating carrier.
- Federal broker authorityThe captured record reports active broker authority: arranging transportation, not hauling goods as the carrier. Observed Oct 9, 2026.
- State household-goods licenceWe could not complete the Iowa Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division lookup (checked Oct 9, 2026). This is a gap in our check, not a finding about the company.
- 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 9, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesGoogle has an unknown number of reviews and Yelp has only 2 reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 2; star ratings differ by 3.1 stars.
- Address and operating-location evidenceWebsite and federal records list different addresses. See the dated sources and address roles below; these signals alone do not establish improper operation.
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: carrier and brokerObserved Oct 9, 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. - No — not shown in the captured recordObserved Oct 9, 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. - 32
- 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. - 26

- DOT complaints (FMCSA)
- We could not verify complaints for this companyNot listed in FMCSA's Protect Your Move mover registry, so no NCCDB complaint history is published for this USDOT number. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate household-goods movers only. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.

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
