What we checked
- 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 authorityThe 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 licenceNot checked for this profile.
- 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 14, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record21 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. 4 cancellations left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (BIPD cancelled 2013-08-19, next filing effective 2013-08-27; BIPD cancelled 2003-07-01, the last record of a filing first recorded cancelled 2002-08-27, next filing effective 2003-08-19; CARGO cancelled 2002-01-10, next filing effective 2003-08-19; BIPD cancelled 2001-07-01, next filing effective 2002-07-01). For 16 of them FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. For 1 of them, whether coverage continued cannot be judged from the files: the only filing of the same coverage in effect is in effect only by a later record of it, dated after FMCSA first recorded it as ended (BIPD cancelled 2003-05-22, while that filing, effective 2002-07-01, is recorded cancelled 2002-08-27, with a later record dated 2003-07-01). FMCSA’s files hold 30 filing records for these 25 filings; 4 later records on filings that had already ended and 1 replacement record dated the filing’s own effective date are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 12 involuntary revocation actions (served 2024-07-23, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2024-08-15; served 2023-07-24, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2023-08-10; served 2022-07-25, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2022-08-17; served 2021-07-23, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-08-11; served 2020-07-23, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2020-08-11; served 2019-07-23, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2019-08-15; served 2018-07-23, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2018-08-09; served 2017-07-24, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2017-08-18; served 2016-07-25, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2016-08-17; served 2015-07-23, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2015-08-18; served 2014-07-23, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2014-08-18; served 1999-04-09, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 1999-04-08), 3 revocation or suspension orders (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2020-08-10, effective 2020-09-14; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2013-07-23, effective 2013-08-26; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2001-07-27, effective 2001-07-01), 4 authority actions with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (REINSTATED served 2014-01-31, disposition REVOKED decided 2020-09-14; REINSTATED served 2004-02-25, disposition REVOKED decided 2013-08-26; GRANTED served 1998-04-22, disposition REVOKED decided 2001-09-13; GRANTED served 1998-04-20, disposition REVOKED decided 2001-09-13) and 3 reinstatements (served 2020-09-17, 2014-01-31, 2004-02-25). 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 sourcesBBB has only 2 reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 292; star ratings differ by 0.8 stars.
- 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. - Active federal authority: carrierObserved Oct 14, 2026

- 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. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 14, 2026
