Official record of an adverse agency or court action against this company (“Meathead Movers”)
“In October 2012, the Meathead Movers Inc. agreed to pay $6,000.00 in penalties for violating air quality regulations: $4,500.00 will go to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality;” The record is quoted as filed; it names this company.
The record names “Meathead Movers”, which matches this company’s name. Its procedural posture (assessment, notice, order) is as quoted. No official DOJ, DOT OIG, FMCSA, state attorney general, or court source reviewed in this task established an enforcement, criminal, or civil action against a person identified as [name withheld]; the business-person connection remains unverified, and the settlement was resolved by agreement rather than a judgment or conviction.
An adverse action recorded under this company’s own name bears directly on the business you would be contracting with.
Ask the company about this record and read the official docket yourself before booking.

California Secretary of State bizfile Online could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Could not submit separate searches for Meathead Movers Inc., MEATHEAD MOVERS INC, or Meathead Movers. Could not open or read any official entity record pages, so entity name, ID, type, status, dates, agent, officers, address, source URL, and source date could not be confirmed. Could not determine the register's displayed name from the blocked page. The register search was blocked: The official California Secretary of State bizfile Online business-search site (https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business) was blocked by its security service (Incapsula). The page returned an 'errorCode: 15' security-service block before the search interface loaded, so no search could be submitted and no results could be read.
ON RECORD
2 other businesses listed at this street address
“SENIOR AMERICANS HEALTH INSURANCE SERVICE CENTER” (yelp); “Omnia Healthcare, LLC” (web page). This is operating-location context: a multi-tenant building or suite shared with unrelated businesses.
A shared street address alone does not indicate any corporate relationship; suite numbers and tenancy were not compared.
Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 10 reviews, 6 public complaints
Reviews 2024-02-03 to 2026-09-29. Public complaints 2024-04-10 to 2026-09-10 (BBB status counts: 6 answered, 1 resolved; “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.
Changes observed in this company's federal and state records during the last 90 days. Each entry shows when the change was observed.
Oct 1, 2026MEDIUMNew operating authority on record: MC398077 Motor Carrier of Household Goods — Active.
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.
Interstate HHG carrier authority
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
53 trucks on file
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
4 passed1 caution
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 14, 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 14, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
State household-goods licence
California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS) lists an active certificate 189849 (checked Oct 14, 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 14, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
Involuntary revocation actions on record
No cancelled or revoked insurance filings were identified in the records reviewed. FMCSA’s files hold 25 filing records for these 21 filings; 4 later records on filings that had already ended are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 2 involuntary revocation actions (served 2004-04-05, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2004-05-06; served 2004-01-07, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2004-01-13). 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.
Review ratings compared across sources
Trustpilot has only 2 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 1230; star ratings differ by 3.4 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.
Serious concerns and company connections

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.
Interstate HHG carrier authorityWhat 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.
TrucksWhat does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
53
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

Safety ratingWhat 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.

NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source. It does not mean the answer is good or bad.
