SERIOUS
Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, faq, licensing, services) 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 103323, MC-109065); 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.
Another business, “UTC Company Details”, shares the phone number this company’s website actually dials, (503) 661-7920 (also printed on its site)
A web page for “UTC Company Details” shows the phone number this company’s website actually dials, (503) 661-7920 (also printed on its site) and this company’s email address info@priestleymoving.com. Excerpt: “Primary, 503-661-7920, 503-665-0983, info@priestleymoving.com. Company Address. Address Type, Address. Physical Address, 2255 NW BIRDSDALE AVENUE, GRESHAM, OR ...”
A shared identifier shows a connection; it does not establish common ownership, succession or responsibility. The corporate relationship is not verified.
The same phone number listed for two business names is a connection worth understanding before you book.
Before booking: Ask the company what its relationship is to “UTC Company Details” and make sure the name on your contract is the company you expect.
No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 09/04/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 103323.
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.
NOTE
FMCSA's mover registry and captured registration disagree on household-goods carrier or broker authority
Protect Your Move (registry data as of 09/25/2026): "PRIESTLEY AND SONS MOVING & STORAGE (U.S. DOT# 103323) is NOT authorized by FMCSA to transport or arrange the transportation of Household Goods.". Captured SAFER/MOTUS record: household-goods carrier or broker authority active (MC109065 Motor Carrier of Household Goods — Active; MC109065 Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods) — Active).
Check the dated FMCSA records before relying on this authority category.
Oregon Secretary of State Business Registry could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Could not search the legal names Priestley and Sons Moving & Storage, Inc.; PRIESTLEY AND SONS MOVING AND STORAGE INC; Priestley & Sons Moving & Storage; or suffix-free variants. No DBA name was provided, and no search could be performed for one. Because the CAPTCHA blocked access before submission, entity names, IDs, types, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, record URLs, and source dates could not be confirmed. The register search was blocked: The official Oregon Secretary of State Business Registry site presented a security CAPTCHA challenge before the search form could be used: it required typing characters from an image. I could not complete the CAPTCHA, so no name search was submitted and no results could be read.

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.
22+ 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
4 passed1 caution1 failed
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 16, 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 16, 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 4, 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 ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 16, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record
7 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. One cancellation left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (CARGO cancelled 2025-09-20, no later filing of that coverage on record through 2026-05-14). For 6 of them FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 30 filing records for these 25 filings; 5 later records on filings that had already ended are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 6 involuntary revocation actions (served 2023-07-05, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2023-07-31; served 2010-07-26, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2010-07-27; served 2005-11-22, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2005-12-05; served 2004-07-06, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2004-08-06; served 1995-10-22, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION; served 1987-11-12, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2021-04-29, effective 2021-06-08), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 1982-04-20, disposition REVOKED decided 2021-06-08) and 2 reinstatements (served 2021-07-16, 2021-07-13). 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
Star ratings are within 0.1 stars of each other across 2 review sources, each with at least 10 reviews.
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.

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.
8
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

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 4, 2026.
We searched State household-goods mover registry on Sep 4, 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.
State business entity record
Oregon Secretary of State Business Registry · checked Oct 9, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.
Oregon Secretary of State Business Registry was not available when checked on Oct 9, 2026. Registration status is unverified.

How current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 16, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 368 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.
