What we found

Report assembled Sep 14, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. PROBLEM
    1 consumer complaint filed with FMCSA in the last four years

    FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database (via the Protect Your Move registry) — by year: 2024: 1 (registry data as of 08/28/2026). Categories: Shipment Documents 1, Loss and Damage 1. Separately, the registry reports a fleet snapshot of 60 trucks, 10 tractors, 15 trailers; this does not measure moves completed during the complaint period.

  2. COULD NOT VERIFY
    No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business

    We searched State household-goods mover registry on 09/02/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 597632.

    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.

  3. CHECKS OUT
    Active federal household-goods authority (MC-288585)

    FMCSA: ACTIVE; authorized for Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods); Motor Carrier of Household Goods; insurance filings on file.

    Source: Captured FMCSA record · as of Sep 14, 2026

  4. CHECKS OUT
    BBB rating A+ (accredited)

    BBB complaints: 3 complaints in the last 3 years (1 closed in the last 12 months); types: Order Issues 2, Product Issues 1; status: 2 answered, 1 resolved.

    A BBB letter grade is BBB's own assessment; it is not an endorsement, a licence check or a clearance of the company.

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.

19+ years online

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

70 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

3 passed1 caution
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Sep 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 Sep 14, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
  • State household-goods licence
    We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Sep 2, 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 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 Sep 14, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
  • Review ratings compared across sources
    Google has an unknown number of reviews and BBB has only 4 reviews and Trustpilot has only 2 reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 144; star ratings differ by 1.3 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.

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 Sep 14, 2026
Carrier operation
Interstate
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 Sep 14, 2026

Trucks
What does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
70
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.
91
Insurance status

Safety rating
What 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. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Sep 2, 2026.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Sep 2, 2026 and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed here, or that it is registered under a different legal name.

Verified customer experience reports

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.

How current is this report?

Report assembled Sep 14, 2026. First published Sep 14, 2026. This report pulls from 506 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.
