SERIOUS
Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 5 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, faq, licensing) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 159450, MC-142617); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.

South Dakota Secretary of State Business Information Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official register search could not be completed because its reCAPTCHA verification failed. No result records could be read or opened, so no entity names, IDs, types, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, record URLs, or source dates could be confirmed. The separate search for North Western Warehouse was not performed because the register was blocked at the CAPTCHA step. Because no results page was returned, result pagination and completeness could not be assessed. The register search was blocked: reCAPTCHA blocked the search on the official South Dakota Secretary of State Business Information Search. The search form was submitted for NORTHWESTERN WAREHOUSE COMPANY, but the register returned "reCAPTCHA failed. Please try again." instead of business-entity results.
ON RECORD
Follow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The Yahoo Local page lists Record Storage Solutions at 413 6th St, Rapid City, SD 57701, with website recordstoragesolutions.com and phone (605) 341-3308, and includes a Facebook link whose URL identifies North Western Warehouse Co., but it does not establish that the businesses are legally the same or document a succession or rebranding.
The permitted source contains no state-register filing, FMCSA record, shared-person information, consumer statement, or printed source date; it also does not verify that North Western Warehouse owns, operates, succeeded, or rebranded Record Storage Solutions. The Facebook link is only an unresolved connection, not proof of identity or ownership.

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.
24+ years online
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

What we checked
3 passed
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 11, 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 11, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
State household-goods licence
South Dakota does not license household-goods movers. South Dakota repealed intrastate motor-carrier operating authority and never replaced it with a mover licence. (Source last read Aug 20, 2026.)
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 11, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
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.

FMCSA regulatory snapshot
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.
5
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

Insurance status
—
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.

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.
South Dakota does not license household-goods movers, so there is no state mover licence for this company to hold.
South Dakota repealed intrastate motor-carrier operating authority and never replaced it with a mover licence.
Source: SDCL ch. 49-28 (Motor Carrier Regulation): the operating-authority sections are repealed — “49-28-12 to 49-28-14. Repealed by SL 1995, ch 259”; “49-28-24 to 49-28-27. Repealed by SL 1995, ch 259”; further repeals by SL 2014, ch 219. Read the source (last read Aug 20, 2026).

How current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 11, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 309 pieces of information across federal, state, review, and identity sources. Check each source's date for when its information was observed.
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.
