What we checked
- Federally licensed (FMCSA)Active federal authority on file with FMCSA (USDOT 261884).
- Authorized to move household goodsFMCSA confirms household goods (HHG) carrier authority. This mover is allowed to move home contents.
- State household-goods licenceWe 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.
- Insurance currently on fileFederal requirement is $750,000 but $0 is on file with FMCSA. Operating without the required insurance is a federal violation.
- Operates under a single brand nameWebsite markets the company under 3 different city-specific brand names (Powell Moving & Storage, Inc., Powell Moving). This is sometimes a multi-brand SEO strategy.
- Claimed years in business matches verified recordsWebsite says 18 years in business but BBB business profile shows 64 years (since 1/1/1962). The claim is materially lower than verified.
- Claimed fleet size matches verified recordsWebsite says 15 trucks but FMCSA SAFER (power units) shows 57 power units (FMCSA). The claim is materially lower than verified.
- Claimed employee count matches verified records50+ employees on website matches 46 drivers (FMCSA) from FMCSA SAFER (drivers).
