FMCSA registrant: MAKING MOVES MATTER
USDOT 4522109 · FMCSA SAFER · observed
No federal operating authority
What we found
Report assembled Oct 13, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- CRITICALNo federal operating authority
SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The website advertises interstate moves.
It cannot legally perform the interstate household moves it advertises.
Source: Captured FMCSA record · Captured FMCSA record · as of Oct 13, 2026
- SERIOUSRegistered as intrastate-only, advertises interstate moves
FMCSA carrier operation (MCS-150): Intrastate Only (Non-HM). The website says: “Below are some of the most requested moving services we provide for homes and businesses across the country”.
It has told FMCSA it does not cross state lines. Any interstate move it sells is outside its registration.

- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 4 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
The pages we examined did not provide a USDOT or MC number to check. Ask which registration would carry your interstate move.

- PROBLEMSays “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number
“LICENSED AND INSURED”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.
A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

- CAUTIONThe federal address uses apartment-style formatting
FMCSA principal place of business: 445 S DOBSON RD APT 1065, MESA, AZ 85202-1828. Record observed 2026-10-13T06:32:25.355Z.
Address formatting alone does not establish property use or whether this business has offices, a depot, or other facilities. Confirm its current operating location directly.

- COULD NOT VERIFYNo State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 09/03/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 4522109.
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 RECORDNot in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 4522109 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 RECORDArizona Corporation Commission eCorp could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The supplied legacy URL https://ecorp.azcc.gov/EntitySearch/Index redirected to the Arizona Corporation Commission's current official portal login, so the current official search at https://arizonabusinesscenter.azcc.gov/businesssearch was used. The search for MAKING MOVES MATTER was submitted, but the CAPTCHA appeared before any results were displayed; therefore search_performed is false under the requested definition. The DBA name MAKNG MOVES MATTER could not be searched separately because the CAPTCHA blocked continuation. No entity record pages could be opened, so entity IDs, types, statuses, dates, registered agents, officers, addresses, source URLs, and source dates could not be confirmed. Pagination and result completeness could not be assessed because no result list was returned. The register search was blocked: CAPTCHA/user validation blocked the official Arizona Business Center business search before results could be returned. After submitting the search for MAKING MOVES MATTER, the site displayed a CAPTCHA requiring the six characters shown in an image; no result list or record could be read.
- ON RECORDEvery exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 0 reviews, 1 public complaints
BBB exposes no reviews. Public complaints 2025-10-30 to 2025-10-30 (BBB status counts: 2 unanswered; “answered” is not “resolved”). BBB counts 1 further complaint it does not publish. Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.

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 federal record reports in-state operation. This is a declared operating scope, not verification of a state license. See the separate licensing checks.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)No active federal authority captured. 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 does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 13, 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.
- State household-goods licenceWe searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Sep 3, 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 insurance statusWe do not have a consistent, dated insurance amount observation matched to this company’s USDOT. This is a verification gap, not a finding that the company is uninsured.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesStar ratings are within 0.1 stars of each other across 2 review sources, each with at least 10 reviews.
- Address and operating-location evidenceThe federal address uses apartment-style formatting. 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. - No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 13, 2026
- Carrier operation
What does this mean?
This carrier is registered to operate only within one state. Federal interstate authority does not apply to intrastate-only carriers, which is why federal insurance and authority status fields may show as "Not Specified" or "Not Authorized." - Intrastate Only (Non-hazardous materials)
- 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 13, 2026
- Operating status
What does this mean?
This means the company's USDOT registration is active in the FMCSA database. It does NOT mean the company is authorized to operate as a federal interstate mover. See "Authority status" above for that. A carrier can have an ACTIVE USDOT registration but still not be authorized to do interstate moves. - ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 1
- 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. - 4
- 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
- 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.

State household-goods licence
In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Sep 3, 2026.
