What we found
Report assembled Oct 13, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- CRITICALNo active federal operating authority
MC459157 Household Goods — INACTIVE. SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED.
It advertises interstate moves it holds no federal authority to perform.
Source: Captured FMCSA record · Captured FMCSA record · as of Oct 13, 2026
- 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.

- COULD NOT VERIFYNo State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/09/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 945395.
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 945395 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 RECORDConnecticut Secretary of the State Business Records Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Attempted the legal name "MCCABES MOVING PREPARATIONS LLC", the legal name without the LLC suffix ("MCCABES MOVING PREPARATIONS"), and the supplied DBA name "McCabe's Moving" separately. Because CAPTCHA verification failed, the register's result lists and individual entity records could not be opened or confirmed; therefore no entity IDs, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, or record URLs are available. The register search was blocked: The Connecticut Business Records Search rejected each submitted search with the message "Captcha is not verified." The reCAPTCHA verification on the official register could not be completed, so no results or record pages could be read.

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 Oct 9, 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 statusThese amounts belong to inactive federal authority dockets. They do not confirm current liability or cargo coverage. As observed Oct 13, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record7 cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. In each case FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 25 filing records for these 22 filings; 3 later records on filings that had already ended are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 6 involuntary revocation actions (served 2020-01-27, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2020-02-13; served 2020-01-21, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2020-02-13; served 2009-02-20, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2009-03-03; served 2008-01-18, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2008-02-14; served 2004-08-12, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2004-09-13; served 2004-07-19, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2004-08-23). 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.
- 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. - No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 13, 2026
- Carrier operation
- —
- 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. - INACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 0
- 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

- 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.

- Operating authority dockets
- InactiveMC459157Motor Carrier of Household Goods
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 State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 9, 2026.
