FMCSA regulatory snapshot

Authority status
What does this mean?"Authority" is the FMCSA permission to operate as a federal interstate carrier. NOT AUTHORIZED / INACTIVE means the carrier cannot legally accept interstate moves under federal rules. ACTIVE means they have permission to operate.
AUTHORIZED FOR: Motor Carrier of Household Goods
Carrier operation
Interstate
Authorized for HHG
What does this mean?"HHG" stands for Household Goods, the federal category covering home moves. A carrier without HHG authority is not allowed to move home contents across state lines under federal law.
Yes
Operating status
ACTIVE
Trucks
What does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
190
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.

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.

What the reviews show

30 reviews read across BBB, Trustpilot
We read 30 reviews across BBB and Trustpilot; nothing unusual in the pattern (2 weaker signals noted below).

The website says 4.9★ from 10,863 reviews. We could read 1,388 (BBB 257, Trustpilot 1131); Google could not be counted, so this is not the company’s total.

Distribution of the 30 reviews we read. Most businesses show mostly 5★ with a tail of 1★ — that shape alone means nothing.
  • WEAK
    The website claims 4.9★ from 10863 reviews without naming a platform; we could read a review count on 2 of the four platforms we check — Trustpilot 1131 and BBB 257. Google’s listing was found but showed no review count, so we cannot say how many reviews this company has across platforms and the claim is neither confirmed nor contradicted (all platforms, n=1131)
  • WEAK
    6 of the 20 dated Trustpilot reviews we read were posted on the same day (2026-08-31); Trustpilot shows 1131 reviews in total for this business, so several on one day is within its pace (Trustpilot, n=20)

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.
