What we found

Report assembled Oct 10, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. COULD NOT VERIFY
    No 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.

    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.

  2. NOTE
    Self-declared: “best movers”

    “Best Movers”. This is the company's own marketing statement; this wording alone does not establish an independent ranking.

  3. ON RECORD
    Identified by its own website — no USDOT number displayed

    We read 4 pages of southingtonmovingcompany.com. The site prints phone (860) 308-1652 and address 112 Lazy Lane, Southington, CT 06489 and describes its own moving services, advertises local moves. No USDOT or MC number appears on it. A name search of the free federal registries (SAFER, MOTUS) returned 2 registrations; none matched this business's phone, email, or name and city.

    Local moves within CT do not need federal operating authority; the state licence line on this page says what the state register shows.

    Connecticut 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. The official register page was reachable and the search field accepted “McCabes Moving,” but CAPTCHA verification blocked submission and result reading. No entity matches, entity IDs, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, record URLs, or source dates could be confirmed from a record page. The provided city, address, and website could not be used to infer a registration record because the register search was blocked. The register search was blocked: The official Connecticut Business Records Search would not submit the search because it displayed “Captcha is not verified.” No results page or record could be read.

    The permitted Chamber of Commerce page lists PODS Moving & Storage at 39 Business Park Dr, Bristol, with phone 877-770-7637 and a PODS website, while its nearby-business section separately lists McCabes Moving in Bristol with phone 860-308-1652; the page does not establish that the two businesses are related.

    No state-register filing, FMCSA record, shared person, McCabes address or website, succession or rebranding statement, or other official evidence was verifiable because the only permitted source was this Chamber of Commerce page; it also does not show 860-308-1652 as PODS's own listed phone.

    The permitted page verifies that A&A Septic Service is listed in Georgetown County, South Carolina with privacy@web.com, the website aikensepticsystempumping.com, and 11230 Powell Rd, but it does not establish any relationship with McCabes Moving.

    The only permitted source contains no McCabes Moving information, shared people, state-register or FMCSA filing, succession or rebranding statement, or consumer allegation; therefore the claimed shared email and any ownership, succession, or rebranding connection remain unverified.

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.

Intrastate operation reported

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.

3 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

1 caution
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    No active federal authority captured. 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
    An own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 9, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
  • State household-goods licence
    We 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 status
    We 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.
  • 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.

Company connections

Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 10, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.

Follow-up on unresolved leads

Each question below was checked against further sources on Oct 10, 2026. The conclusion states only what those sources establish; what remains unverified is stated beside it.

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 9, 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.

Trucks
What does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
